Its kind of long...I promise there's a good ending - I have experienced this and its awesome!!


Father in heaven,

I am so blind, so arrogant and ignorant
That I did not see how powerful and pure that You  
   are
I did not see my stain
   Only some mistakes in my life

I did not see how I listened to Your enemy
   How I agreed with the liar again and again

How I have treated You with disrespect and  
  disregard
How with corruption I spent my days -
and how I did not see myself displeasing You in any way

But You have opened my eyes and I see
I stand before One mighty enough to kill me and  
  punish me forever
I stand before You and realize I am in trouble
I have not obeyed You, nor regarded You as  
  important and yet You have put breath in my  
  chest and counted every hair upon my head

I am afraid and I am imperfect and unworthy to be  
  anywhere near You

Because sin is real
And I have sinned

I kneel before You and I cry and am filled with  
  shame

And I hear the words deep in my soul
  I forgive you
And then I hear You say
  Stand up and lift your chin
I stand and realize the King of all kings is  
  smiling at me
  
   Smiling at me.

   And I am forgiven

This isn't about my petty deeds, rather finding Someone real who strikes awe into my heart; and knowing that I have been in the presence of greatness, and the wonderful knowing that I am deeply loved and cherished by Him - and that He has power to do things that I wouldn't like; rather He chooses to love me.

Michelle; I appreciate your caring words to me - I just want to make sure you know that I'm not feeling a guilt trip; rather something wonderful and extraordinary.
