This isn’t much of a blog, but for those of you wondering how I have been doing or those wondering what a mission trip might make you feel, this is something I wrote up.
I fail
Yet I am not failure;
I forget who I am
Yet Abba calls me by name;
I think I am ‘good’ and holy
Yet only the Father is;
I choose not to love
Yet I am still chosen;
I turn away, choose my own path
Yet He lies with me, walks with me, pursues me;
I forget to live in Gospel
Yet I am still included;
I forget my First Love
Yet I am His;
Grace I do not choose
Yet I am defined by His;
I work for righteousness
Yet Jesus said, “It is finished”
I listen to the voice of men
And not of God
Yet He listens to me
He speaks to me;
I have fear
Yet I am not afraid;
I fail
Yet He calls me Beloved;
I
Am not failure
