preaching not poetic

How can God want us for His own possession when we have nothing to to offer?

I know that we are desperately wicked, desperately lost, and totally depraved, yet there is still grace? Through the out pouring of Your love there is grace, by the cross blood poured out healing, life, and love, and through this we are Your's Oh God.

The most beautiful, the most powerful, the most wonderful, the all in all, Lord, Savior, God was offered to pay the debt of our sinfulness and We are more then conquerors we are more than just dead men walking more than blind men wandering more then evil men scheming we are His slaves we are His children we are His.

God has done everything He could possibly could to show us that our existence is not a random collisions of chance plus time equals life, but a wonderfully made creation in which to deeply share His love and nature, He made us to show us that we are worth His best, but this lack of self confidence is still our prison.

Guilt will be our prison again guilt will rule us. Our prison will drop us to our knees and create doubt not only ourselves but in the God we love and the God whom saved us.

When we draw near to your own reflection look deep into your eyes and you will see a failure, you will see what you hate look into your eyes and you will see a lost sinner.

We were not created to draw near to ourselves but to God and until we can look so deep into the eyes of God that we can see in the reflection of His own eyes can we ever truly see how much He loves us but not until we can stop wasting our time looking into the mirror will we ever draw near to God.
