03/26/13

Life is but a breath.

We are here one day gone the next.

I can't seem to stop thinking about the crash.

One second, one moment. My life could be drastically different right now if any little thing when differently.

I could have lost my sight. I could have lost my legs. I could have lost my mental health. I could have lost my life.

That would have been the end of my story. Unfinished, unexpected, done.

That's how this life is. It is random. It is so strange. Sometimes it doesn't make sense.

I've been fed hollywood movies that always wrap everything up nicely but that isn't how the world works.

Sometimes it just ends. It doesn't make sense. It isn't happy. It just is.

But in the mist of all of this sort of stuff You are good. Whether I walk away unharmed or whether I never walk again.

You are good.

I have no perseverance.
I have no character.
I have no integrity.

I want to get back to that stuff.
I want to live a disciplined life.
I want to be free.

I want things to matter.
I want to please You.
I want to say no.

I want my life to be a living sacrifice for You.
Instead I just fail.
I need Your grace but I wish I was better.
But I'm not. I'm broken and this sinning and failing is getting old.
I'm tired of it but I can't seem to overcome it either.

I want no darkness. I want to seek only You. I want to live always 100% for you.

Let today be a new day. Help me give today to You. Let me love You and my brothers and sisters and nothing else. No gossip, no cussing, no treating humans like they are anything less than image bearers of Your glory. Help me to be faithful. Help me to be truthful. Jesus I ask that You wash me of yesterday.

Today is a new day. You make all things new.
