Quoteboard: Become

"We cannot become what we need to be by remaining what we are."  
                                                                    -  Lovett Weems

Yes, I am loved for who I am, right where I am.  Yes, even when my track record is hardly worthy.  Yes, that's called grace.  

But I dare not linger in this place.  No, I cannot stay here.  Change is necessary.  There is a man I was made to be.  Yes, there is an imprint I have not yet realized.  An "image of God" to more fully reflect with each day I'm given.  

There are some things I must leave behind.  That's called repentance.  Yes, to become the man I'm called to be.  I cannot remain where I'm at.
