Leap

Looking at myself and who I am, I know I want to change. But how? How do I make a leap that big? How do I close that gaping gap? Little by little, and step by step. They say change doesn't happen overnight. I'm not going to wake up tomorrow and be the girl I want to be. Instead it will come through little things, little changes, time after time. Faithful in little; faithful in much. God is the sculptor, and I am the stone. He chips away at me bit by bit, shaping me into who I am to be. Who am I to be? More like Christ. I will never be perfect until I go to be with my Savior. But until then, I am to strive to be like Christ. Instead of comparing myself to those around me, I need to be comparing myself to Him--trying to be more like Him! Like I said, it's not an overnight success story. It's a journey, it's a process, it's lesson learning and taking that first step into the dark. One foot in front of another, and I will change. I don't want to remain complacent. I will strive to be like Him!

"Therefore we make it our aim, whether present or absent, to be well pleasing to Him."
