I've thought about this post for months now and I wrote this poem/song a few weeks ago.
I've been travelin on this road,
carryin this heavy load, just tryin to find my way home.
And I've fallen on my face;
I'm so thankful for his mercy and his grace.
We all;
stumble and fall.
And I've lost my way a time or two;
but he loves me through and through.
No matter what I do; he'll never leave my side, he'll never give up on me
that's why being God's child is the only thing I wanna be.
I know I'm not all he'd have me be,
oh but he's changing me from glory to glory.
And the one I live for;
set me free from the man I was before.
He'll never let me down;
time and time again that's what I've found.
And I've lost my way a time or two;
but he loves me through and through.
No matter what I do; he'll never leave my side, he'll never give up on me
that's why being God's child is the only thing I wanna be.
Oh he loves me. Yes Jesus loves me.
It's no news flash that I'm not perfect. In the last few months I've learned a lot about judging one another and loving others through and through. JOHN 13:34 A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. Please don't misunderstand this post or take offense, but I've found that as humans we pick and choose what we "think" are sins. Or we decide that since your sin is "BIGGER" than mine I should treat you differently or better yet just shun you. I'm so glad that when God went to Calvary he didn't say forgive everyone for their sins except Candy. He loved me while I was yet in my sin. ROMANS 5:8 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. I'm not saying "go wallow in the mud too"; if God's word says something is a sin; then it's a sin. What I am saying is we forget that we ALL sin, that we ALL make mistakes, that we ALL fall short. We forget where we've been, who we've been, what we've done, and what we'd be today if it wasn't for his great mercy and his wonderful grace. I've made mistakes, decisions that weren't the smartest, choices that weren't the best, that I care not to mention much less remember, but still I've made them. That doesn't mean God doesn't love me. As God's children we are to be a light in these last days, we are to lift up not tear down, we are to encourage not discourage. I want everyone to know that no matter where you've been or what you've done, and even if I may not agree with it all, even if it may have grieved God's heart, he loves you and so do I. And shame on me if I haven't been an example that God changes lives and hearts. If I'm a mess, if I'm broken, if I'm wrong, if I'm lost; God is STILL in control. He's still working on me and I may have a long way to go, but I'm sure not who I use to be. We are sisters and brothers in Christ; could you love me and pray for me while God's fixing me; I know it may take some time because he has a lot of work to do, but he's patient so could you be too?
