Are You Strong Enough to be Weak?
A few years ago, I started asking God to give me songs/poems to express some of the things He teaches me. I've been hesitant to post any that I write for everyone to read (it's intimidating to have your stuff out there for critique), but I realize that if i want to grow in this and if I ever want God to use it, I am going to have to put it out there for others to read. Yesterday I heard someone say, Are you strong enough to be weak? The context was, are you willing to let God use your weaknesses? He wants to, but you have to submit to that. Anyway, as I said in yesterday's post, I've been going back through old journals and coming across poetry/songs I had written in the past. Some of the things that I will post will be from that, some will be more recent things that God has been teaching me. The stuff I post may or may not be complete and it's all up for improvement tips. If you have any comments, ideas, or ways that my writing can improve, I welcome it. Here's something I wrote from I Corinthians 13.

The Greatest of All
My words fail
But I have something to tell
How do I express this love so great

How can I give
Like you give
It's Your love that I want to imitate

So change my impure heart
Change my selfish thoughts
Even if you have to tear me apart
I want to have Your love (Your love)
You're pure and holy love

Patient and Kind
It's not emotion inside
Love endures through all

Jealousy and Pride
Has no place to hide
In this true love call

So change my impure heart
Change my selfish thoughts
Even if you have to tear me apart
I want to have Your love (Your love)
You're pure and holy love
