This is an Entry for my HOLY FATHER..
when i was down, u were my strength.. when i was hiding, u showed me the light and bid me to walk out.. when i was sad, u were there juz to give a crying shoulders.. i could not understand why yet with every love that u have possibly showed me, i am still bound to temptations and sins.. i know i have sinned, and yet with every day coming, i try to change and be a better person that one day may find favour in your eyes.. You gave us your son, and yet we sacrificed him, and that was your plan, ur grand plan, to put OUR sins on HIS blameless body.. This was wad happened, so that i will be forgiven by you whether i sinned yesterday, today or even tomorrow..
I was giving up hope, yet u gave me hope again. I do not know what i have done to deserve such favour from you my LORD.. Maybe in the first place, your love for US has been of too much abundance and you know, when the bible used the word, "jealous love", it was not petty jealousy, it was something far more pure and powerful.. I understood it the moment i sinned and was punished by you O Lord, yet with every punishment, u gave me a chance for redemption..
His blood, washes and sanctifies, Your Love, high and bountiful..
You are My father, My king, My friend, My creator, My God..
You gave me the chance to witness your grandeur,
You gave me the chance to witness your greatness,
You gave me the chance to witness your love,
You gave me the chance to witness your pain,
You gave me the chance to witness your forgiveness,
You gave me the chance to witness your righteousness,
You gave me the chance to witness your grace,
You gave me the chance to witness your majesty,
You gave me the chance to witness my LIFE..
LIFE= living in forever embrace (of GOD)...
GOD= Greatest Ordinary Dad
You live in me... your love will never ever change..
"Forgive us, Lord . . . for the things we have done that make us feel uncomfortable in Your presence. All the front that we polish so carefully for men to see does not decieve You. For you know every thought that has left its shadow on our memory. You have marked every motive that curdled something sweet within us.
We acknowledge--with bitterness and true repentance--that cross and selfish thoughts have entered our minds; we acknowledge that we have permitted our minds to wander through unclean and forbidden ways; we have toyed with that which we knew was not for us; we have desired that which we should not have.
We acknowledge that often we have decieved ourselves where our plain duty lay.
We confess before You that our ears are often deaf to the whisper of Thy call, our eyes often blind to the signs of your guidance,
Make us willing to be changed, even though it requires surgery of the soul and the therapy of disipline.
Make our hearts warm and soft, that we may receive now the blessing of Your forgiveness, the benedicition of Your "Depart in peace . . and sin no more." Amen
