A closer examination

"How are you?"
"Good," my quickest response.

I can't seem to answer any other way. But have I taken the time to ask myself, " How are you today?"
I've spent too much time wondering will the teacher check the homework in my next class, or why hasn't he said hi to me yet. Yet, somehow I forget that I am a citizen not of this world, "But [my] citizenship is in heaven... And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body" Philippians 3:20. It is the eternal that I long for, and the eternal I shall seek. 

At the end of the day, I find myself with a need to realign myself towards the goals of the kingdom, to clear my mind of mundane matters. Sometimes I just need you to examine my heart, to make me clean. Today, I know that I acted so selfishly with some things. Lord, forgive me and give me the patience to deal with those situations. I need You to guard my heart and take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. 

Lord, transform me.

It was late when I wrote this... I apologize if it's not completely put together.
