I Must Confess (UPDATED WITH SCRIPTURE)

I must confess

I am blessed.

This daily pain

cannot, 

will not stop

the love I have

for my Father, my God.

I will unceasingly pray

and stay

in His word.

I yearn 

to learn

all that I can

about the one

who forgave me,

saved me

from my selfish ways.

My righteousness 

is as filthy rags,

so if I should brag,

it will be about my God

and His abounding,

astounding,

unfailing,

endless

love.

There is nothing in this entire world

that I could ever do

to repay Jesus

for the horrific pain He went through.

And He's God, so He didn't have to.

So how can I stand here and complain

about my own pain,

knowing without a doubt in my mind

that this pain is temporary.

It will not last.

Maybe in this world,

but not the next.

And then life will really begin.

Praise God,

give Him glory,

never be afraid

to tell your story.

ROMANS 1:16

I AM  NOT ASHAMED OF THE GOSPEL,

BECAUSE IT IS THE POWER OF GOD THAT BRINGS SALVATION

TO EVERYONE WHO BELIEVES:

FIRST TO THE JEW,

THEN TO THE GENTILE.
