grace



I still find broken pieces,
but know I have experienced such healing.
I trust You unwaveringly,
yet still have to surrender daily.
I want nothing more than Your will,
but stumble & get lost in my own at times.
I know who I am in You & that i'm Yours,
but sometimes fight the uncertainty of my worth & if I'm good enough.
I am certain that everything I need is found in You; 
 even still, I'm humbled when I reach to the wrong source for fulfillment.
my desire is for You --more than anything,
but I battle with other things trying to take your place.
I'm sure of my purpose,
still I get distracted at times.
I know the truth but there are moments the lies ring louder in my mind.
and times when all you ask me to do is believe,
 doubt still tries to take over.
but your grace is so amazing.

grace-- defined-- the freely given, unmerited favor and love of God. (b) the influence or spirit of God operating in humans to regenerate or strengthen them.
...You are the One I want & Your closeness is all I long for. even when I hide, I know You still see me & find me. In a world so uncertain & unreliable, You never change & that brings such security to my soul. You're always faithful & so loving & Your grace is sufficient for all my weakness. I'm so thankful You fight for me & daily pursue my heart. You never let go.

"....i will love You in the morning, and i will love You in the night, even when i'm weak and when it's dark, i will find your light."

..by the grace of God I am what I am and His grace to me was not without effect.
1 Cor 15:10
