9 Minutes of Contemplation
I am not the best I can be,
nor will I ever
on this earth
be the best I can be.
I am not stagnant, nor am I finished.
I am in the process of becoming...
tuning in to my place in Christ,
avoiding chords of discord,
attempting to be at peace with all
as much as is possible with me
I am not the top,
nor the bottom person.
But a whole person,
a redeemed person.
Not a recycled or a nearly new person.
A new creation, with all the best that He is and has given me.
Beautifully fashioned and all glorious within
Because the treasure that He is ...
Is within me, gushing forth in a new song, a new language, and a new love
And yet I am not the best that I can be,
until it is Christ Jesus that you see
revealed in me.
