Tinker. Tailor. Soldier. Spy.
Tinker - I want God to mess with me - to tinker with who I am and transform me into who I might become. He is the One who sees me as I can be. Tinker with me, God.
He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion. Philippians 1:6
Tailor - I long for God to encompass me - to wrap me in the garment of Himself. His arms are the warmth of cashmere, His care the sparkle of diamonds, His whisper the comfort of my favorite jeans. Tailor me, God.
Therefore, as God’s chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. Colossians 3:12
Soldier - I need God to battle for me - to be my strength, endurance and confidence. He is on the front line of my life fighting for victory. He waves His flag of encouragement. He sounds the trumpet of His love. He shouts for the outcome He's already won. Be my soldier, God.
The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still. Exodus 14:14
Spy - I desire God to be my spy. He is the One who can peer around the corner of my life. He has the intel to lead and direct. Sometimes His information is classified but He shares what I need to know. Spy out my future, God.
My thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts. Isaiah 55:8-9
I may never read this book but I will continue to read The Book. I may never see these actors on the screen, but He will act in my life. He is my Tinker. Tailor. Soldier. Spy.
