That’s what I feel like lately.
A broken, used up lightbulb.
Not very inspiring, is it? It’s kind of a useless thing. It can still plug into the current, but it can’t produce the light it was created for.
On the other hand, perhaps it is no surprise that’s how I’m feeling, because my most recent prayer has been simply this: Unmake me, Lord.
I want to be unmade, so that God can start putting back into my life the bits and pieces that HE wants, not the pieces I’ve picked up over the years and hugged close to my chest.We all want to be made over, refashioned, step into the big reveal as a new person, made in His image.
But sometimes we forget that before the big reveal comes a lot of unlearning, unmaking, letting go. I’m not so good at that, but I’m trying.
So there it is.
Unmake me again, Lord.

Beautiful, Marla. A beautiful truth I needed to hear today. Sometimes I feel like I’m working (yikes) so hard to get it all together and that’s not at all what’s needed.
I’m sharing this!
