Forgive me father for I have sinned....
yet again....
This is becoming a pattern
Insecure and battered I come to you
Claiming to know Not what I do
but feeling the truth is far more ominous
I feel I am sabotaging this.... relationship we have
If I can even call it that?
You're grace is unbelievable
You're forgiveness so inconceivable
that I don't feel I deserve it
Why would a sinner like me be worth it
I just keep making mistakes
Disobeying your word
How long can the hurt of disappointment
prolong before it's pointless for you to keep taking me back
I should know how to act
I know what I have read and that your word is fact
So why do I keep slipping
I feel I am gripping the edge of a cliff
clinging only by my fingertips
and I could fall at any minute
Would you please rescue me once again
Take my right hand and save me?
We all fall short, it just happens. Even Paul wrote about that, even after seeing an angel and having such a radical transformation as he did, he still messed up from time to time. None of us deserve his grace or forgiveness. There's nothing we could ever do to earn it or justify it. He loved us first .... he chose us before we ever chose him or decided to follow him. We're human and we all have our faults. We can't stay on the right path and make the right choices in our own strength. We need the Holy Spirit to help us, to strengthen us and the Word says that if we resist the devil he WILL flee. So stay in prayer, stay in your Word and ask him to help you. Take control of every thought, capture it and keep resisting the devil ... he will go away and then you can keep on fighting the good fight. Whether you see it or not you are growing leaps and bounds. We're not where we want to be but Thank God we're not where we used to be. Just take one day at a time, and do the best you can with that day. Love you sis! xo
