. Father, forgive
them,” are the
words You cried,
while nailed to
the cross which
should have been
mine. At Calvary,
You conquered
death and covered
all of my sin, so that I may enter heaven and spend eternity with You.
“Why do you love me?” I ask, most every time I pray. I am not worthy
of Your love, but freely You give it anyway. I mess up time and again,
yet you forgive it all. I’ll never fully understand, at least not while I am
still here upon this earth, and even then, after ten thousand years, I’m
not sure I will. Yet
continually I’ll praise
You, and thank You
for each new day.
For all of the joys
in my life, and for
the suffering too.
Every trail in this
life you have given
to me is a way to
praise who You are.
It’s a way to rely on
You day by day, to
think of others first.
And every blessing
You pour out is a
gift to share with
all of your children.
As the title says, this is actually a written prayer, and just reading it has helped me. I posted this, with the hope that by sharing this that it will help someone else. God has blessed your day in so many ways, even the ones we don't see as blessings may be gifts in disguise from Him. Please take the time to pray to Him, to remember that He is the One in control and that He loves you no matter what.
