WHAT'S YOUR GIFT?

He Takes Me Back

July 5, 2010, Posted by Mela at 7:28 PM

.
I THINK OF ALL THE TIMES
.
when I meant to PRAY, but didn’t . . .
.
when I could’ve been GRATEFUL, but spent my time griping . . .
.
when I didn’t STAND UP for myself, my God or my neighbors . . .
.
when I chose being right over being HAPPY . . .
.
when I let voices, fear and the past silence my dreams . . .
.
when I let others slowly strip away my joy with harsh comments . . .
.
when I stumbled and fell in a life-choking cloud of sin, apathy and judgment . . .
.
That’s precisely the number of times God took me back, dusted me off and set me on the right path.
.
Thank you, God – I am grateful.
.
It’s not about how many times you get it right. It’s about knowing that even when you don’t, He takes you back, declares you Holy & invites you to His throne through his amazing sacrifice.
