You said that you'd always be there for me.

Little did I know, you were.

I always thought that I had the best ways.

But your gentle hold proved me wrong.

I never wanted to be like you.

Until I read your Word.

I always thought you were old.

But you were newer than imagined.

I was afraid that you'd try to take me out of my comfort circle.

But you amde a new one.

I didn't ask you to be kind.

But then, if you weren't, how could I love you?

I never thought I could be on fire for you

But you gave me the passion to believe.



Dear Abba,

Thank you for the right to call you my Father. Let your love shine out
among the evil and hatred. Help me be more like you...


"Therefore, laying aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy,
and all evil speaking, as newborn babies, desire the pure milk of the
word, that you may grow thereby, if indeed you have tasted that the
Lord is gracious."

1 Peter 2:1-2 New King James Version

Lord, I know that I haven't always been fair, I know that more than once
evil has passed through my thoughts and even has passed from my lips.
I know that I haven't been the perfect child, but I have come back to
you, seeking to start over. Only to stray away. But you have ALWAYS been
there, Father, always. And there you will remain, until I join
my hand with yours again, to alk down the bumpy narrow road. The
narrow road may not be easy. But in the end...it was the better choice.

Amen

of moods either. But before you curse the Lord or others...Remember
1 Peter 2:1-2.
