No words.
Just a hollow.
A resounding emptiness.
Lord, Lord God,
I have not been whole-hearted in seeking You.
I've been selfish.
My faith struggles
instead of resting in Your power.
My walk with You is mediocre
instead of empowering, lifegiving, overflowing with love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control.
I turn from Your authority.
I go about my business,
as if the life I live belongs to me.
I complain, I mope,
I lament that my relationship with You is weak.
My heart delights not in Your statutes
but my worldly lusts overtake me.
I clean the outside of the cup,
but the inside is filthy.
I am ungodly.
I am a sinner.
I need You, God, to be whole.
I need You, Your Holy Spirit, for the littlest of things.
My salvation rests on Your goodness
Your grace.
There is nothing in me that could recommend me to You,
My 'righteousness' is like a filthy rag before You.
But thank You for Your Son Jesus Christ!!
Thank You for Your mercy...
Thank You, Lord, that You are the God who justifies the ungodly.
A miracle.
Open my eyes, because I am blind.
Fill me, because I am empty.
Mend me, because I am broken.
Claim me, because I am Yours.
