Strained





I am being strained.
Constantly,
daily,
moment by moment.

There is a purpose,
there is a goal,
there is a reason,
but
sometimes
it's painful,
frustrating,
irritating.

Sometimes I see
no reason for
the straining
of my life,
my thoughts,
my attitudes,
my choices.

Other times I understand completely!

God is working.
He's filtering me,
straining me,
sifting me,
skimming away,
straining away
everything 
that doesn't look like Christ.

In the end
what is left
will look
 just like
HIM!

He's not being mean,
it's all done
out of love
and
in the end
he's making me into
the person
I
was meant to be.

(Heb. 10:14,  Heb. 12:3-24, 1 John 3:1-3)
