forgive me

"Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever. "

1 John 2:15-17

It is so hard to live this part of the Bible. It's impossible without Christ. There are so many things on this earth that I long and seek after. I really shouldn't. God's my supply... my breath of life... and there is no way I can even grasp a glimpse of his beauty. Yet I let my yearning for God be taken over by earthly things. I am a wretched man... unable to comprehend the vastness of God's love, but willing to let His love be substituted by the things of this world. Without Christ this battle would be in vain. Because of His gift, even I, the worst of all men, can be called a child of God.


Lord Christ, forgive me for my wrongs.
