God is good, and I'm really not. I try so hard to be better than him, but inevitably I end up failing. I guess it's the plight of humanity for us to always strive to be our own God, throwing off his grace for our own throne of...well, whatever you idolize. Fame? Power? Wealth? We all know what we really want. In the end, I always realize that I can't be God, and my little house of cards comes crashing down. Ashamed I try to hide from him for a time, but that never works either.
It's pretty silly isn't it? God loves us with a perfect love. He will always accept us back, and in fact never left our side in the first place. So when I get high off of all the good things people say about me, God's always there, warning me against pride and selfishness. I sure with I'd listen more.
I really love you God. Thank you for everything you've done for me. I want to do your will, not mine. Please help me understand how you want to use me. Never leave my side Lord, for I am so weak without you. Lead me back to a place of peace, and let me serve you again. Only then am I happy, only then am I free.
