Am I
holier than thou
Because I wake up early and sit with God
Am I
holier than thou
Because I love reading and studying God's Word
The reason I do this is
is because
I am not
holier than thou
but because
I am a sinner
Saved by Grace
who needs
God every minute
or I would fall flat in my face.
It so happens that when I wake up,
before my alarm goes off in the dark hours of the morning,
I debate whether I want to get up or not,
to sit with God.
The thoughts that~
no one is making me,
I can sleep in,
it isn't a job,
feed my brain~
but then
these thoughts start to drip deep down into my spirit
and I am gently reminded
that I get to meet with God.
He is waiting for me in the dark living room
He is waiting for me to sit in His Presence
so that He can fill me with what I need
in that moment
that will spill out throughout my day.
Who am I ?
Not holier than thou
Who am I ?
A sinner saved by grace who is pressing forward to win the prize that is heavenward~
Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me. Brothers and sisters, I do not consider myself yet to have taken hold of it. But one thing I do: Forgetting what is behind and straining toward what is ahead, I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:12-14
And on my way there
I will choose to
Put Off
my independence,
thinking that I can do this thing
called life
on my own
and
Put On
Dependence on Him~
Who will be by my side to
be everything
that I am not able to be.
Who am I?
Who are you?
A sinner saved by grace~
Graced to be called His.
