Transformation

I have heard the reference to God making people new...a new creation. As I read and reflect over the changes in Peter, one cannot deny that the arrogance and pride you see in Peter, in the Book of Matthew, melts away by the time you roll around to Acts.

I hum the lyrics...
So take my heart
and make it new
make it true
And make it like you
Take my hands
I lift them high
They're yours not mine to do
Do what you will
Do what you will
Do what you will

I want to have a life marked by the transformation of my heart as only could be done by God. I hope when my legacy is looked upon by my children, and all the generations that follow them, that they see the evidence of God's victory in me. I want to be the defining turning point toward God for our family. I want to look down from heaven and see my family recklessly passionate in their pursuit of Christ.

Lord, I need you to take my heart and make it new. The legacy I desire to leave is really only one you can leave. Use me, Lord, in any way you see fit. I'm all in...yes, I'll go; yes, I'll do that, yes, I'll do that. Whatever you want, I'll do.
