About Me

I find that when I am asking God to Forgive me, I am sometimes asking Him to Excus me instead…There is a huge difference between the two…Forgiveness says “Yes you have done this thing, but I accept your apology; I will never hold it against you and everything between us two will be exactly as it was before.”But Excusing says “I see that you couldn’t help it or didn’t mean it; you weren’t really to blame”But if one was not really to blame then there is nothing to forgive… So in this sense, forgiveness and excusing are the complete opposites…That leaves us with a dilemma, Do we come to God for forgiveness, or for us to make excuses on our behalf?

I saw God today///

I'm sitting here at work, in somewhat disbelief, what just happened today seems absolutely impossible; I don't know how long it will take to kick it. It's like just avoiding a near fatal car crash, wh...

You've heard the songs, and maybe read my little blurb, so by now you know that I messed up big time with a girl. You see, I cut myself up hectically about it, I wished I'd somehow taken the responsib...
