I am selfish.
I am self-pleasing, self-loving, and self-centered.
I am full of pride.
I have lied.
I have stolen.
I have taken God's name in vain.
I am hateful, angry, bitter, and jealous.
I covet.
I have lusted.
I have kept secrets.
I have deceived.
I am a sinner.
I am a bad person...
I have done nothing to deserve God's love.
I have done nothing to please Him.
I have done everything to send myself to hell forever.
I deserve to be punished.
To be judged and condemned.
To be hated by God.
I deserve death...
This was me...is me...always will be me.
Forever, I will be a sinner,
On my own, never worthy of acceptance by a Holy God.
Forever I will deserve death...
But God, being rich in mercy,
Because of the great love with which He loved me,
even when I was dead in my trespasses,
Made me alive together with Christ -
By grace I have been saved...
Despite my wickedness,
Regardless of my disgusting sins,
God has shown me love.
And, through the blood of Jesus,
Through His death on the cross,
I have been saved.
Because God saves bad people...
Bad ppl....hmmm....I found that to allow me to look at how everyone has felt. We are all sinners...but God has embraced us and died for us to have eternal life. The thought of knowing no matter what type of trials life brings you...God will carry you through it. It brings a gentle chill of comfort to know ur never alone.
