REPENT

Admit it. 
Sin corrupts me
covering me in the swampy muck
pulling me away
like an alligator smothering its prey
hiding the glowing steady light of God.

My body becomes useless and weak
as my sins destroy
blasting my hope
shattering my joy
splintering my peace.

Into this self destructive darkness,
LIGHT explodes
uncovering the lies of the destroyer
who hates mankind, the creation of God.

Once God shines His light in my life,
I see the leprosy of my bleeding soul.
I cry out for forgiveness,
repenting of my many manifold sins
which Jesus washes away - like a waterfall washes a river clear of mud.

Lord Jesus
please forgive me
my selfishness,
my petty angers,
my attempts to control others
Lord I ask you to bless my family, friends, nation and lead us back to you.

Thank you Lord for your mercy and grace.  Thank you for your shed blood that covers my sin.Thank you for your strength and protection.

Isaiah 40:31

Those who hope (trust, depend on, believe) in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary,  they will will walk and not be faint.

Give thanks to the Lord always.

BUT have you bothered to ask "Where have you been?" of your relationship with the Most High Triune Lord God?  The Creator of the Universe wants to have a living relationship with you in a one to one time of communication.  In the old song, we are reminded that God is waiting for us to actually speak to him as a person speaks to other humans.  June Deniece William s and Miles C. Austin write:                                     I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses,                                     and the voice I hear falling on my ear,                                 ...
