Grace

Faithful and true is Your love for me

All of my failings,You nailed on that tree

*
Try as I might to prove myself worthy,

my humanity leads me to fail

Nothing I'm able to do on my own,

could prevent a descent into Hell

*

Grace beyond my understanding,

freedom I never knew

From something so great,

as You loving me

and so simple,

as me choosing You.

I'm still amazed daily at Gods's grace. Many people think that christians are hypocrites who think they are better than everyone else. However, christians are not impervious to mistakes and sin. If any of us could achieve perfection on our own, we wouldn't need a Saviour. God loves us despite our imperfections. He knew we were unable to save ourselves and sent Jesus as a sacrifice to atone for us. Such a great love is what leads us to strive for righteousness in the eyes of our Lord, to please him and get closer to him, but we still stumble. Praise God that His grace is sufficient to forgive our failings. We are a work in progess and He changes us more and more as we get closer to Him. Anyone who is waiting until they "clean up" their life to start that relationship with Him is just wasting time, He loves you just the way you are and He can

do more to change your life than you could ever imagine.
