My beginnings are as humble as God allowed them to be
A creature of dust
I am
From the ground He lifts me up
Having fallen more times than I can count
He reminds me it is not over
Until He says it is over.
I've broken His heart
As many times as the particles of sand
Particles of Sand in a desert
I don't know how true that is
Because I am not precise about how many there are
But that's how I feel
I have let Him down
Too many times for me to count.
Unkept promises
An ungrateful child I am
Anger I have carried from dawn to dusk
Day after Day
I have been careless with my words
I have cared less for those He asks me to love.
I seek His pardon with a sincere heart
I feel unworthy to be in His presence
Yet I long for His embrace
which He lovingly gives
That I willingly refuse.
I punish myself
I refuse to forgive myself
Even when He says He has forgiven me
"Come to me child
I knew you before you were born
Named you
Loved you
Come to me child
I love You
as You are"
Forgiveness offered with unending love
