In my devotional, the first line reads... "Goodness and purity ought never to attract attention to themselves, they ought simply to be magnets to draw to Jesus Christ..."
This is exactly what I want in my life. To be (to have) goodness and purity. But I am ashamed to admit, my temper and mouth have already gotten me in trouble at work, and I am afraid I have shamed my Lord with my antics. I have tarnished my image, therefore tarnishing my Lord's. How can I be "in His image" and act the way I do? And how can I redeem myself and act like a decent human being again?
I am going to go prayerfully to Him and apologize for my actions and words and ask forgiveness. He will forgive, but will I be able to forgive myself?
How do I regain the lost footing in the grace of my Lord? I am nothing but a worn old rag that certainly doesn't deserve His forgiveness, and certainly not His love... yet He continues to forgive me day after day after day....
I am so blessed to be able to cal myself a child of God.
