Sin

A sin happened in my life and I let in dwell therein. I didn’t
notice the change at first, how things around me seemed
so off key. My resentment of others, who in my eyes, were
no longer the same. The awkwardness of those around me
- as if they didn’t know what to say. I was beginning to feel
really misunderstood.

So, in defense of my uncomfortable ness, I built barriers to
filter things down. But things got worse not better. I got
mad because they wouldn’t understand. Then I became
bitter because of the loneliness surrounding me. And
finally I started blaming any one for my fall because I
couldn’t stand the pain.

Then the Lord took a hold of my life and showed me a sin
that happened way back then. I saw how the sin had colored
my view and changed me not you. That my sin had caused
guilt and it was really I that had misunderstood. I found that
my filters were faulty. And I can now understand that the
loneliness and pain were the results of my sin left so long ago
to dwell within.

So, Lord, I confess my sin to you and ask that you make me
clean. Knowing I can leave it all behind through Your grace
and love divine. Thank you, for freeing me. I owe my life
to you. Your servant Lord, I’ll humbly be. Thank you Lord for
setting me free.
