One Woman's Pilgrimage

    by Linda Bush Cannon

From A Sinner's Perspective
Date Posted: April 13, 2008

Because it feels good

Because it makes me alive

Because it kills the pain

Because it makes me feel loved

Because it helps me forget

Because it’s a quick fix

Because it’s what I’ve always known

Because I’m afraid to take that step of faith

Because I’m not as strong as you

I want to believe

I want to be different

I want to stand for Christ

I want to choose the right way… this time

But…

Because Jesus loves me

Because I am forgiven

Because I’ve screwed up for the 1,000st time

Because of 1 John 1:9

Maybe… just maybe

This time will be different

This time I can see the victory

This time I can see me as Christ sees me

This time will be different

Oh Jesus, in this desperate hour of

Imperfection

Forgive me

Cleanse me

Help me

In You alone, my Savior

In You alone

My hope, my redemption

My only reason for living

My truest love

My heart

My eternity
