You spoke light and saw that it was good.
You created land and sea and saw that it was good.
You made creatures in the sea and air and land and saw that it was good.
You created me...and saw that I was good.
But I am inadequate-I do not measure up.
How many times have I spit in your face to deliberately sin?
How many times have I turned my back for temporal pleasures of this world?
We say we "struggle" with sin, but how is it a struggle if I didn't even resist?
We say we "wrestled" with sexual sin, pride, idolatry, but it was more of a dance and I swayed along to the ever-changing emotions of my heart.
Yet here you are. Ready to cut in and lead-ready to see me as good once again.
So speak light into the darkness. Breathe life into my lungs. Fill my soul as deep as the ocean-I'm reaching for your love.
For your name is holy above all names-your ways are higher than my own.
And I love you...because you first loved me.
