Please God, continue to refine me and purify my heart… Prune away everything that is not of you.
I’ll not going to lie - last week was tough for me. As we settled into our new home and knocked out potty training, the emotions have been raw and real. I still feel so excited for the call to serve, but my heart grieves the physical distance from our loved ones.
Honestly, my flesh wanted to stay in the pit of despair and wallow there. And this week, there were times when I selfishly did that. But then…
Psalm 40:2-3 - “He lifted me out of the slimy pit, out of the mud and mire... He put a new song in my mouth, a hymn of praise to our God. Many will see and fear the Lord and put their trust in Him.”
I was reminded that He was and is faithful to pull me out of the pit when I cry out to Him. He will not abandon me, but He promises to renew and refine me. Praise God for the mercy that He so lavishly pours on me time after time after time…
My prayer is that God will continue to prune the dead (aka flesh) parts of me, just like our Mr. Zulu so meticulously cares for these beautiful blooms.
