Forgive Me

I thought about coming up with a theme, 

or direction for my posts to take during Lent. 

Sometimes it's easier to have a map of sorts. 

But for some reason, I have decided (?) 

to just wander and see where God leads me. 

I say decided (?) 

because I think God already knows 

where He means to lead me.

Today I'm thinking about my imperfections, 

and really that's a nice way of saying my failures. 

I know that if I go to God and ask forgiveness, 

he will give it lavishly, lovingly.

I think that I accept that gift, but do I really when

I can't seem to forgive myself?

And is it any wonder that people may not want to forgive me?

I think it's a human thing.

I think we are not natural, born "forgivers".

We can only learn it at the feet 

of the one who forgave us all.

Luke 23:34
