Drenched In Love

I tell myself
I’m too far gone
I make too many
Mistakes
I tell myself
I’m not worthy
How can I
Ever
Measure
Up
To what
I’m
Supposed
To
Be
I tell myself
It’s not possible

But…

I’m drenched
In His love!
I’m simply
Soaked
From head
To toe
In
Unfailing love.
No sin
Compares
In size
To
His
Amazing
Love!

Buckets,
And buckets,
And buckets of love
He pours
Over me.

“‘Now you have been pleased to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever in your sight; for you, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.’”*

Notes

I read this verse one morning and it struck me as I remember how blessed I am. The LORD’s love is amazing, and He is so good to us all the time! And I despite the mess that I am, I pray that I could truly be called a true self-sacrificial “servant” of the LORD one day.
