i'm an idolater, a liar, a thief, a murder, and an adulterer. i deserve death; to be eternally separated from our Creator, King, and Greatest Good. no matter how good i am, how hard i try, or what i can attain or accomplish, i will never bridge the gap. (rom 3:23, rom 5:12, james 1:17) but... God sent His son. Born to a virgin (not born into the sin of man), who humbled Himself to become a man. This God-Man lived a perfect life, and died on a cross. An innocent slain for the guilty, righteous for the unrighteous, spotless for the soiled. He bore the guilt and wrath that I deserved. He ransomed me. Then He rose to life, and conquered death. He offers a life that is truly life. (matthew 1:18, phil 2:5-8, romans 5:17, 1 peter 3:18, 1 tim 2:5-6, 2 cor 5:17, 1 tim 6:19) so i'm no longer my own; purchased at a price, and ransomed by my God and King. (eph 2:8, 1 cor 16:20) but i'm still broken, i'm still imperfect, and i'm still not home. (rom 7:21, phil 3:12, romans 8:23) a broken, battered, and chipped clay vessel, (2 cor 4:7) who is dying to live.(matt 10:39) though i will disappoint you, and hurt you... i'm learning to love. will you join me for the walk? (2 cor 3:18)
