I am what I am but that's not all that I am

I have lied, therefore.......I am a liar.
I have stolen, therefore.....I am a thief.
I have looked on another person with lust
......and am guilty of adultery in my heart.
Have I killed anyone? No. But I have hated.
Hate corrupts the soul and he who does it
......commits murder in his mind.

By my own testimony I am a liar, a thief,
an adulterer and a murderer.

Why do I deserve any reward especially heaven?

I don't.

However.

God did not send his son into the world to condemn me, or you.
He didn't send his son to strike us down with lightning.
He came to those who would be considered enemies - me, you
......and he released us from our guilt.

By releasing MY control over MY life and giving it over to HIM
I also release MY charges, MY convictions also known as sin.
He can then work with me, mold me, make me something new
And if he can do this for me, he can do it for you.

If I am no longer the things written above
what could I possibly be?

I am complete, grafted into the vine of God's Grace
I can now see and in my sight look on the glory of God's face
I am a child of God, an heir to a marvelous victory
I am free, sin may happen but has no power over me

His gift is provide to all who will receive
His mercies wash over all who would believe
The past is now behind me, I am no longer what I once was
and this is for you too.......because of God's love.
