Lord, I am sorry

Posted on by asherdc89

My Lord and my God, you have lavished me with your love. Treated me kindly and gracefully. Loved me selflessly and unconditionally. Undeservingly, shown me many times favor and mercy.  Being the one who works things out for my good. And freely bestowed great opportunities.

I have been ungrateful. Taking advantage and being unappreciative of your love.  You plead with me by the promptings of your Spirit. You say, “I love you with an everlasting love. And ”Come now, and let us reason together, saith the Lord: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.”

And I continue to be unfaithful. Offering insincere prayers without a broken heart and contrite spirit.  Not having a genuine heartfelt sorrow of repentance.  To mourn with a heavy grief the hurt I have caused you. 

I have only thought of myself. Selfishly, only considering my wants and needs. Not caring about anybody else a part from myself. So much so, that I am in my own way. I am sabotaging myself. 

 I am sorry Lord. Please help me. “Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.” Give me new thoughts and desires for a righteousness, which comes by faith alone. In Jesus name I pray amen.

Since 2010, I've experienced promptings, encouragement as well as assistance from the Holy Spirit. The promptings led me to the word of God. This was the start of my own personal journey as I sought after the truth. God was then calling me as I sought after the truth according to His word. The truth was leading me to the decision to give my life to Him. I gave my life to God on the 28th of January 2012. Instantly, I had the desire to share with others the truth of God, that God is a God of love, truth, righteousness, holiness, mercy and justice. I couldn't keep something like this to myself in a lost and dying world, a world in a fallen state, and a world steeped in confusion concerning the view of who God is. My journey wasn't without struggle though, I realised through suffering we come to know God. To not only be humble, but to be empathic and not detached from people who are suffering. Sometime in 2012, God inspired me to become a writer just after my prayer to fulfill my purpose, the purpose of the reason of my existence. My prayer was a reflection of Isaiah 43:1-7. So I started writing essays pertaining to His word. I shared what I wrote with my family and friends. Therefore, the aspiration to help people globally, came with the realisation to give God the honour and the glory. To be part of making a difference. The inspiration to start blogging was impressed upon me to do. Through prayerful guidence, I believe God has led me to this point, which I believe is for His glory.
