Perfectly Imperfect

I really thought you loved me, but it was all a big lie; sometimes at night I still cry.

I believed all the things you said; and followed you where you led.

I was wrong about you, wrong about a lot of things; and even the thought of you now makes my heart sting.

But enough bashing you; I was involved in that sin too.

A facade I led for a while; but lying and hiding just isn't my style.

I couldn't help but finally come back into the light; for the whole time I was in God's sight.

I thank God for saving me from my life of sin; without Him the healing process couldn't begin.

I'm on the road to restoration, living each day as if it were my last; leaving my regrets and pain in the past.

I WILL walk securely in Jesus Christ my Savior; and live each day putting on the armor of God, and throwing off my old sinful behavior.

Each morning Your mercies are made anew; and for Your grace and unconditional love, I thank You.

I love You, God, with all my heart; I know You have called me to be set apart.

Please guard my heart from anything that is not of You; and open my eyes to Your point of view.

Make my life about You, and not of me; so that through my actions it's Jesus they will see.

When I say I'm a Christian, I want to have proof; not just a life of going through the motions and living aloof.

Jesus, my prayer today is to be Your hands and feet; in a world full of darkness, to every one I meet.

Thank You for all You have done, are doing, and will do in my life; I praise You in times of good and of strife.

This journey isn't easy and I'll never be perfect; but knowing Jesus makes it all worth it.
