slightly mistaken

Ok, so I realized that I was slightly mistaken with the lyrics to the Misty Edwards song on my previous post. The lyrics are actually, "How far will You let me go? How abandoned will You let me be?" 

Still this is a very powerful statement when you start to meditate on it and what is meant by it. 

Also, I still agree with my last post, I just had a misinterpretation of the lyrics.

how much better

I was listening to a Misty Edwards song called Always On My Mind. There is a very powerful part in the song where she starts singing, "how far will You let me go, how better will You let me be?" I was in work singing it to God (and myself) and I realized... a lot of it is, how much better will I let myself be. I get so caught up in the things of this world that a lot of the times I hold myself back because I am afraid to lose some kind of "status" that I think I have achieved according to the world's standards.

How long will I keep on living, judging and comparing myself to the world's standards? When will I begin to see myself as He sees me?
