Psalms 138:8
The LORD will vindicate me;
your love, LORD, endures forever—
do not abandon the works of your hands.
Psalms 138:8 MSG
Finish what you started in me, GOD.
Your love is eternal—don’t quit on me now.
I think if I were going to write my own version of this verse it would go like this. . .
God, I am sorry, I failed again. I am trying really hard here, but it is exactly that, hard. Please be patient with me. Give me another go at it. I know I can get this with Your help. Thank You so much for loving me and not giving up on me.
Yep! That is exactly how I would write it. I am so very thankful that this life is a learning process. It is progress, not perfection that God expects from any of us. That is why we have grace. God knew we would never be Him. There is way too much sin in this world to even think we could not be tainted by it. So, He loved us so much, He sent Jesus to die and cover all of those sins. Now, we can try and try again, with God’s help to get better and better all of the time.
So again I must say it one more time. I am sorry I have failed again. Thank You, Lord, for not giving up on me. Thank You for loving me enough to pick me up and help me try it again.
Lord, thank You for loving me and not giving up on me. Together we can do anything. ~amen
