I hate it when I sin; when I am rude, when I get irritated too quickly, when I am unfriendly, even when I catch myself "doing the eyeball roll" at someone else's action or comment. Why do I do the things I do? It seems I cycle in and out of my sinful ways. I have no excuses, but if I did, it would be that Satan roams to and fro hoping to deceive. I am just to thankful that God forgives and He gives me grace.
Stuck in Sin
Stuck in the muck?
Stalled and appalled?
Blinded and weak-minded?
Satan's foot-hold
Got you trapped in sin's mold?
Running in place
And looking for grace?
Tis wise to take heed.
Seek help to be freed.
If need be-
Unfriend,
Avoid the trend,
Don’t over-spend,
Make amend.
Detect,
Reject,
Correct!
Do what it will take;
God’s grace is at stake!

“For the grace of God has appeared that offers salvation to all people. It teaches us to say “No” to ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in this present age.” Titus 2: 11-12 NIV
