Persistence

Romans 8:29 — For those God foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, that he might be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters.

Praise You, Lord,

that I look less

like me

and more like You

today than yesterday.

Your persistence with me,

Your pursuit of me

even when I ran

is the mercy

that saves me.

I can do nothing

but praise

and yield

to Your will for me,

Your power to change me.

Thank You, Lord,

that I am not

the same -

that I will never be

again.

Amen.
