I finally get it,
even though I thought I finally got it before~
JESUS
came to make things new.
I finally get it,
even though I thought I finally got it before~
It isn't me who can make things new.
I finally get it,
even though I thought I finally got it before~
I can't
turn water into wine.
I can't
make the blind see.
I can't heal the brokenhearted~
I can't,
yet I try.
I strive
because
as a
NEW CREATION IN HIM
I believe that I have to try
to be that
NEW CREATION~
Who
Acts Perfect
Talks Perfect
Lives Perfect.
And you know what ~
besides being exhausting
I can't
no matter how hard I strive to be that
NEW CREATION
who strives
to produce the fruit of
Love,
Joy,
Peace,
Patience,
Kindness,
Goodness,
Faithfulness,
Gentleness
&
Self-control.
And guess what?
I fail every time
because I am not the one who can produce it.
Why was
THE BABY
born?
To be what I am not.
To live in me to produce what I can't.
I finally get it, even though I thought I finally got it before~
I am a
New Creation
IN HIM,
not in Joni.
HE is the perfect that covers all my imperfections.
I feel free as I surrender
to be me
so that
HE can be HE
IN me.
There is a new girl in town~
and when you see something you like in me
know that it is
HIM~
THE HIM
who was Born to live in me & to live in you~
making us a
NEW CREATION.
So try it~
let go and
BE STILL
AND
KNOW THAT
GOD IS GOD
And finally get it
so that you will experience
all the gifts of
CHRISTMAS that came
wrapped in a wee little
BABY
who came
to
cover all the imperfections that
make you you & that make me me~
to produce in all of us
what we can't produce on our own.
Who am I & who are you
without
THE BABY~
