"I am bedraggled, beat-up, and burnt-out. I am sorely burdened and am shifting the heavy suitcase from one hand to the other. I am wobbly and weak-kneed and I know I don't have it altogether and I am too proud to accept the hand-out of amazing grace. I am a inconsistent, unsteady discple. I am poor, weak, and sinful with hereditary faults and limited talents. I am a earthen vessel who moves along on feet of clay. I am bent and bruised and feel my life is a grave disappointment to God. I am smart but know I am really stupid, I am honest and admit I am a liar. I have grown weary and discouraged along my journey." Brenning Manning, The Ragamuffin Gospel!Despite all of this I am acceptable.
