Dying to Become

I'm hip on the song  "Dying to Become"  by Kutless... I like it because it is about me and the shame of my over reaching in trying to help others like my friends or my children... but really anyone I guess.   I mean they didn't write it for me, but they could have ... by my incessant need to redirect to the path I think those I care about should follow, I push them away...

       ...I don't hear them when they need to be heard
...I don't hear them because I am too busy talking...
   
       "We draw the lines...and we cross them too...we don't know what we've done...but its what we do

                                  ...dying to become...more like you..."

So in the name of treating others like myself...in the name of loving others as my self...

                  Oh God...even in the name of Jesus...I get on my soap box thinking I am right and I end up hurting people ...the very people I want so badly to be there for...

                 What's to be done? All I can do now is go to Christ. I know when I ask Him to forgive me, He does, but its just that I make these terrible and unintentional messes...
               
   ...so I am asking Him to clean them up or show me how

   ...to all the people who I have not heard when they needed to be heard
       
    ...to all the people I have hurt by my own agenda

                ...I am so sorry
