I Need Grace Because
I am impatient and irritable.
I need grace because I do not listen,
therefore I may not understand.
I need grace because I am forgetful
and that can affect people.
and that can affect people.
I need grace because
I love, hoping to be loved in return.
I need grace because
I interrupt and don't let you finish. I am more concerned about
what I want to say.
I need grace because I boast.
I need grace because I am vain and care about clothes too much.
I need grace because I won't love you
because you didn't love me.
I need grace because I think about myself too much and I am on Earth
to serve others before myself.
I need grace because I try to control the life around me,
and life rarely goes as planned and
what would I learn from a smoothly running life anyway?
I need grace because I didn't feed the homeless or invite a stranger
over for a meal.
I need grace because my tone was rude and I hurt someone
and their spirit shut down.
I need grace because I have envied.
I need grace because I can be defensive, cold, and bitter,
and these things do not breed life and love.
I need grace to melt away any old trait that is
not really me, but just a lacking, broken version of me.
It's not me, or who I was created to be, it's how I react and behave sometimes.
These glitches will not hold me down, or define me.
They are a cover up to something deeper that says:
"I'm sad"
"I'm afraid"
"I'm hurting"
or
"I'm tired"--
that's all I'm really trying to express
and grace knows it.

I wrote this on a post-it note and laid it on top of a piece of vintage fabric. I put it through instagram, and then through a filter on my computer called Pixlr-o-matic that I just love using. This is what I ended up with.

I like your thoughts about you sometimes being not the real you. I try to remember 'He makes me me' - we become more what God intends us to be as we move closer to him.
please become a motivational speaker! or write a book!
you INSPIRE ME to be better!!!!!
