I find myself lacking. I look at all I am and the complete of it is inadequate. I know all too well my faults and my failures.
Who is this man that knows my name? He calls me beloved. It can not be, he is the King!
But I mess up all too much. My mistakes are a burden, drowning me in guilt. He takes my hand and leads me to the cross. “Do you want to be free?”
I clutch my chains and hold them tight, I cling to my guilt, my shame, and my pain. It is my pride.
I am nothing. He is everything. He chose me. Now I must choose, freedom from my chains or the pain of my pride.
Beautiful Life with Cancer 
I choose freedom and it is a continual choice. This was beautifully said!

It is hard for us to let go of our guilt. I struggle with that often. When I feel I’m good with God those past sins return to haunt me. It is then that I realize just how much I need my Jesus and His forgiveness. Thanks for the reminder.

“The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” – Ps 23:1
I often find myself too proud to let go of guilt, shame, and bitterness. Yet when I finally committed myself fully to trust in God’s plan, it was truly liberating! Thanks for sharing this!
