Rise to Try Again

...written while I was in the midst of judging someone else; trying to do God's job for Him. God knows how to turn the tables.

Though I falter and once more spread my face

Upon the cold concrete…

I will rise to try again.

Though my many empty promises fall on wanting ears

Only to be dashed on the rocks…

I will rise to try again.

Though my love is imperfect, my heart is cold and my faith grows old…

I will rise to try again.

 

I am unworthy.

Unwanted.

Unloved.

But You have deemed this piece of waste worth dying for!

You wanted and loved me when I neither loved nor wanted myself.

 

Touch my lips with purifying fire and teach me…

Peace that comes through pain…

And a love that comes from fire.

 

David suffered but a while then, through purity of heart, he regained what was lost from the fall.

God, in the end I just want to hear the words, “This was a man after God’s own heart”.

As I rise, once more to try again.

[Norma J. Jessee]

I agree with everything Jenny said and more.

This is very touching, and sad. This comes from the heart. You are very much wanted and loved. You are a wonderful person who has a very loving heart. You are also a very caring person.
