Learning

Yea life is hard sometimes
Yea death takes life
Yea I am not perfect
That used to get me down
I used to feel lonely and lost
I wasn't good enough
I wasn't free
I didn't have anyone to explain the truth
I didn't understand what Jesus did
I didn't understand who I was
I thought I was going to fail
I thought I was not good enough for my dreams
I thought I wasn't something that God could use continuosly
God changed my thinking
He set me free
Now I see
something completely
Not of me or who I am
I am not different
but my perception is
I saw my faults
I see grace given freely
I saw past failures
I see hope
I saw nothing worth while
I see Jesus Christ
You see I wanted something so badly while knowing that I couldn't achieve it. I wanted so badly to be an instrument but knew I wasn't good enough. I focused on my own problems while drowning in despair. No one ever told me the truth no one sat me down and explained who I am. I am Sam Allen I am a son of God. There is nothing more that needs to be said about my character. You see Christ's love didn't save me because of who I was or what he wanted to use me for. I was more than a tool for God. He saved me cause he sent his son for all people. I was one of those people. Christ died so that I can be loved continously and without fail. I didn't understand grace. Grace is the complete covering of all failings by God with his own spirit. He takes everything good or bad in me he covers it with his son's blood. He fills me with his spirit. He then gives me his perfection to use for his glory. He fills me with love. He gives me desires to serve him and then he fulfills those desires for me. I live in him and he completes what he set out to do through me and in me. He is faithful and just to complete the good work that he started in me.

I know what i want to say but I don't know how to say it
These feeble words lack the meaning
I want to shout for joy at the fact that I am free
I want to dance because I have been redeemed
I will
