I gravitate toward God
It is natural for me,
Sometimes I also
Wallow in the murk;
Because sin haunts me.

My mouth speaks prayers,
Gratitude, and praise,
Sometimes I curse
Like someone lost;
Sin tossed on the sea.

I believe I am saved,
Born again, a Christian,
Sometimes I worry
I am wrong, deceived;
His Spirit is not in me.

Without His grace
Nothing would I be;
Sometimes I wonder
If Jesus truly meant
Salvation for me.

I am a human bundle
Of troublesome contradictions;
Sometimes my faith
Lifts my soul so I see Christ,
In eternity, is waiting for me.

Life is an enormous blessing. Creativity fulfills potential. Purpose challenges and gives good reason for whatever is done. Remembering brings gratitude. Faith, Hope, and Love are guiding principles.

  1. This one is so good, right on theologically! I grew up believing that any little sin would cause the loss of salvation. Such fear, even as a small child! Thank God for true Biblical teaching & the Spirit leading me to it. Yes, we all still sin & always will fail in areas while in this body, but one day we will be changed!   Meantime, grace, grace & more grace from the Father! And we have an instant solution for sin ~ 1 John 1:9 ~ when we confess (admit, acknowledge) our sin(s) He forgives & cleanses so our fellowship is restored &we can move on! Sharing the Word is such an encouragement, I’m glad we have fellowship with the Father & with His Son & wit each other because of HIs work o our behalf!glenda
