How can I admit how much I wanted control when all my excuses comprised a path of guilt and shame? How can I take responsibility for decisions I made when I compromised and wouldn’t accept the blame? How can I turn it all around and learn to surrender? How can my heart of stone ever be tender? How can I face the truth and compose a life that will bring glory to Your Name? How can I never be the same?
Every acceptance and every confession is another step in the right direction. Every time I take a stand instead of running away, when I swallow my pride or step out in faith. When I fall to my knees and say that I was wrong, that’s when you make me strong. And You take me back to the highest place when I fully repent of my latest disgrace because your love is much greater than all the mistakes I’ve made. And you will never turn away.
I can admit my weaknesses and how much I’ve failed when I’m confident that I will still be loved. I can say that I’m sorry for bad decisions I’ve made when I admit what I was thinking of. Because you strip away every complication and in your midst there is no condemnation. I can know I’ll always be forgiven. When I confess, you lift me up. Your grace will always be enough. And I’m brought back to the highest place through repentance again.
