We Forget...

The older I get the more appreciative I am of God's Wondrous Mercy and Sweet Grace. I don't know about anyone else, but I personally could not survive, nor have any hope of ever seeing My Redeemer face to face without these beautiful gifts that were purchased with so great a sacrifice. I never want to forget that I am still makes mistakes...but now, no longer lost and no longer without hope. I may not do the things I used to do, however, every day, in some way(thought, word or deed)I come short of the Glory of God. And if not for the 'Light' of conscience that has been awakened in me, through the Love of Christ, I would still be unrepentant, knowing that I'm wrong but not caring...on my way to hell. I don't ever want to forget that I am human and come short, still... and I thank God for being aware of this, because many times while trying to point out another person's wrong, we do worse. It is easy to become a haughty judger for, 'we forget' the actions of our own past, not remembering how we ourselves have fallen short .
Pressig-on...

How often, we do  

Forget... 

How far God has brought us  

...Yet   

Pointing out someone else's  

Hin....   

we forget when we were  

... Dim 

So while we dig another's 

Grave 

Remember our own past and 

Staves 

Things...now hidden up our 

Sleeve  

Which tossed others into painful 

Sea 

Mercy and Grace is what it 

Took 

To set our sails on 'pardon's' 

Brook 

Likewise, message of forgiveness  

Send 

While letting God...and His Word  

Mend  

Thus, let's reserve the jeers  

Verily...  

Giving...Merciful Love of Jesus 

Freely 

How often we do 

Forget... 

That God's not through with...anyone 

...Yet 

 

   Rom 5:8, 1Jhn 1: 8-10, Rom 3:23, Isa 64:6, Tit 3:3

Joyce,

How easy we forget not to judge others! You have pointed this out so well, and have made us all think to be a little more understanding. Thank you for this.

many people forget this,
even something so "seemingly" small as complaining is a sin
nailing "complaining" to the cross is not as easy as it sounds
but whatever it is that you forgot the Lord is there to remind you
and all of us as we seek HIM & his Glorious Presence!!
you are never alone Joyce...you know this :)

God Bless You Den Sister

dim? as in diminished light... dim light... diminutive aspect? diminishing returns ... so allusive so many possibilities... the ambiguity, the cryptic cross-stitch of meaning here is wonderful. I also like your premise... I often am guilty of selective amnesia, not wanting to dwell on bad memories, but it is through those maladaptive ways that our Lord brings us so as a mode of contrast and transcendence we might overcome our challenges, rise above our weakness, and realize our rightful place in his blessed kingdom... can we hope for less when we strive to be more than we thought it possible to be? Nothing we know now can compare to how we are known by he whose name above all names resounds and echoes throughout all eternity! All this from our Roman heritage, but we will not roam far before our Good Shepherd draws us once more to himself so that we might come to know ourselves for who we really are for the first and last time, until time itself lifts a hand to wave goodbye.

BEAUTIFUL AND SO TRUE, Joyce!
We do forget that sin is sin; there are no little sins or big sins. God looks at all sin the same way:those actions that separate us from Him.
Thank you for this well needed reminder.
Continued success-

I think if we were all completely honest with ourselves we'd all have to admit that there are times we slip. Well said, Joyce.

Joyce, you are a beautiful woman of God, redeemed by His saving mercies. If you slip, remember that you are but human and one step away from His forgiveness. You are a humble woman and so worthy of His love for you. Thank you for sharing your thoughts with us, we are the better for reading your words.

it has become part of the norm
sad to say its within us outside of us and all around us
