Repeat Offender

just a reflection

You've given me yet another chance,
Somehow, it just doesn't seem fair;
For, I'm not nearly deserving,
Tell me, why do You even care?

Take care of those who deserve it,
Those who walk a more righteous line;
All the blessings You've given me,
My Lord, You have been much too kind.

I'm at the bottom of the heap,
I don't deserve You're attention;
All the terrible things I've done,
I can't even begin to mention.

It's not that I am not thankful,
I just don't deserve all Your love;
I'm a repeat offender, Lord,
I don't deserve Grace from above.

Please, give those blessings to others,
And take my name out of Your book;
I don't deserve Your affection,
I don't deserve another look.

Paul, it may be just a reflection, but pleaser don't write like this again. When God redeems someone, all that they were is gone on the sea of forgotfulness and you are renewed, you sound like you really don't have faith and it hurts Him. I'm sad to read this from someone so close to the Lord. He answers prayers, aren't you afraid he might answer this one and take you out of His book? Sorry Paul, but this really disturbed my spirit!

If it weren't for people like you and me others would think that God only forgives perfection. No sir!!! Ask for forgiveness and He nods. He's a great God and He loves all His kids....even me and you.
Blessings and love,

...funny how we see ourselves when we do take the time to really reflect, life can be such a game...but is one worth playing and hopefully we make the right moves

Paul, Jesus would be glad to bless someone as faithful as you. I know I wish I had it; I admire your steadfast belief and your unwavering faith, even in difficult circumstances. Very well penned, and you ARE worthy to the Lord! Don't EVER doubt that for a second!! You are ever in my prayers; hope you feel better soon!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :(

I know I could use some blessings in my own life; with Christmas coming up, I might not even have one..... :(
