I forget...



I forget how natural it                                                                                         
becomes... 
to talk about God
in everyday conversation

When I am in tune with 
Him & His Spirit...

How drastically my 
perspective changes
when I am at His feet... 

The fire He puts 
in my bones...

For truth... 
For justice... 
For compassion... 

I forgot 
how much I admire
Paul

who was Saul
before He encountered Christ... 
whose life drastically altered, 
from a self-righteous, 
white tomb...

to one full of zeal

for truth... 
for justice...
for compassion...

for seeing people come 
to know Christ. 

I forgot
how Christ once used
my lips

to preach 
against white-washed tombs, 
in a place
of complacency...

The context in which
I find myself
is a great deal different
than the one
I was surrounded by
one year ago.

Lord, 
Speak through me 
once again.
Teach me, lead me, 
guide me to those 
who need
to hear from You. 

Fill me with Your love 
for them. 

I am yours.
