after writing about loving my siblings, i got very mad about my younger sister today. again. and again.
it's at times like these that i just feel like giving up.
then i thought of this incredible, incredible song that i love.
i dare you to lift yourself off the floor to try again...
like today never happened this makes me think of a voicemail on one of our friend's phone. "this is the first day of the rest of your life." with God's* help, we can try again.
maybe forgiveness is right where you fell Jesus is always willing to forgive. no matter what we've done. it can be getting mad at my sister, or getting into a vicious circle of lying and disobeying my parents like i used to before. it can be something "worse". but there are no degrees of sin to God. he hates all of it. but he loves all of us. and is willing to forgive!
where will you run to escape from yourself...salvation is here when we hate ourselves, we have to run to the One who will always love us.
p.s. i wrote this just as much for me as i did for anyone else.
*and no, i CANNOT leave God out of this equation. without him, there is no hope for a better future...that we will do any better. we'll just end up on the floor again if we go by our own efforts.
