Thief
10/14/2004
I am feeling: poor
I invested in things that I couldn’t have
I have spent my fortune in such little time
I’m left ashamed of what I’ve lost
And what I’ve taken was never mine
I am a thief of spiritual things
Plundered my future with a careless past
I’m feeling the burn that all of it brings
And I try not to make the memories last
I wish I could forget
I’m sorry
And take it all back
I’d take the fall

“Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget none of His benefits; who pardons all your iniquities, who heals all your diseases; who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with lovingkindness and compassion; who satisfies your years with good things, so that your youth is renewed like the eagle…He has not dealt with us according to our sins, nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as high as the heavens are above the earth, so great is His lovingkindness toward those who fear Him.” Psalm 103:2-5,10,11
You can’t do a thing about the past but learn…so learn! And be hopeful for today and tomorrow…

AMEN! Learn…none of us are perfect…we are all grasping and flailing our way through, grasping ahold of a power greater than ourselves when we can take our eyes off ourselves long enough to see it!
