sharpen me.

"I am a dull knife that never gets used because I am not sharp enough to cut through the core." 

The Lord chooses us to become great warriors in the battle against the enemy.  We obviously didn't do it alone.  We know that David wouldn't have concurred the giant without the Lord.  I like to think of the world as my giant.  My giant is all the things that I am afraid of and all the things that I am not. For instance, I am not someone who has the best or any confidence what so ever.  I hide from everything and sometimes everyone.  It might look like I have it all together but the truth is that I am just a regular human being who continually struggles with insecurities.  These insecurities haunt me each and everyday.  I know I was chained by my insecurities and set free by HIS LOVE! Just because I am set free doesn't mean that these insecurities disappear from my life. I today am still struggling with things that I had before I began walking with the Lord.  At the end of the day the Lord is the only one who sticks around and doesn't leave because of who I am.  He forgives. He LOVES. He gives us a new LIFE.  At the end of the that is all that matters.

Sorry...got a little distracted. And if this blog doesn't make any sense to you I am sorry, just know that the Lord loves you and there is nothing you can do about it.

Anyways....
Sometimes I feel like a dull knife that is placed in a dark drawer that never gets used.  Sometimes I feel un-used by the Lord even though I know that he is using me in ways sometimes I can't see.  This week I am asking the Lord to sharpen me.  Sharpen me to become a better tool for the kingdom.  I am tired of feeling dull.  I want to be sharp so I can thrive in and for the Lord.

This verse speaks truth and I find the more I pray the more patient I become.

"Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be CONSTANT in prayer." ~ Romans 12:12
