Can’t get ahead? Feel like you’re not enough?
Wondering how did life’s journey get this tough
Afraid to look up, chin in your chest
No eye contact for you know you’ll never be the best.
That wall you face forever stays planted
Closed to you, your admission never granted
No getting around it, slumped in defeat
Head in your hands, now you know you’re beat
Can I share with you something more?
Can I show you Someone you’ve never known before?
Can I lead you to One who will fight for your soul?
The One who gave His life to pay your toll
Maybe you did know Him at one time before
Turning away you walked out that door
Can I show you the door is never locked
His shelves of forgiveness are eternally stocked
So get up out of your stupor of defeat
There’s a new Way, new day for you to greet!
Turn your back from the old and face the new
As God makes all the new changes in you
Our God is always merciful who’s always ready to forgive and let go…

This was a very good one! I know I struggled with not feeling like I was enough. It was hard for me to even think I was worthy of the cross and forgiveness. So glad all my sins were washed in the blood of the Lamb! 🙌

Amen sis! My daughter was the little professional alter worker tonight when I watched on live stream! Amazing how they emulate what us adults teach them by our actions. I will be in the alters every time from now on!
