Upgrade

My computer here at work has just been given a face-lift, or a tummy-tuck or whatever you'd like to call it. The hard-drive has gone from 10GB to 80 in one foul swoop! From 32% free, to 91% free. Woah!

(Yeah, OK, it's not that big, but dramatic enough anyway, and a lot better than the 600MB drive I started work here on....)

My soul needs an upgrade. I need expansive space for God to work, instead of spending my days trying to delete and uninstall little things to give Him enough room to be present. I need a lot of clean, unused parts for Him to download and install the programmes He needs me to work with - the silence, the worship, the involvement in those around me, the knowing that He is there.

If only it were as simple as hauling in a new part, ghosting the old one over and then running on with the race. But it ain't. The upgrade my soul needs is a broken spirit, a contrite heart, an emptying in preperation for His fullness. A complete "del *.*" experience.... I cannot hope to carry on running my own programmes in the background, letting them corrupt what He has going for me. I can't let my selfish-intention viruses take over the system He has devised.

Lord, upgrade me! Clean me out, fill me up, set me running at optimal performance for You!
