A November devotion
Communication with God
Written emotion
El Shaddai, my everything!
I’m unworthy of You!
You are still here
Though I try not to abuse your grace;
I do it anyways
Here I go; again, hiding my face
You still love me,
Confounding, but Holy
Love leads to conviction
My flesh is weak, rehearsing affliction
You step in; You always do!
Your nature is the same but always new
I forget my guilt and grab Your tool
You draw ways for me to exit temptation,
Though I desire to, some parts want to prolong this staycation
What I despise, I slowly turn to
I miss you,
I miss us,
One choice caused this abrupt stew;
Miss how we-use to be,
You know, before I played with my enemy
Your grip gets tighter when I fall and feel empty
With a whisper, once again, You revive me
Reveal all the traps set against me
I see myself in a third view
I’m rooting for me; I’m right next to You
Reverence makes me hide till I’m clean
False belief says to get right before I lean
Only You can change this story;
Wisdom has shown and fed me Your glory
So many of your children abuse you
I long to be different; I want no ties with what’s untrue!
