Getting More Difficult...

Things have been going wrong a lot lately. I can't seem to do anything right. I'm very tempted to do some things that I used to.....not a good thing.

Forgiven

I've really been struggling lately with a lot of things from my past. I was really down while I was driving home today. I got sick of the radio, so I popped in my ipod. I put it on shuffle, and the song Forgiven by Sanctus Real happened to come on. The lyrics are:

Well the past is playing with my head
And failure knocks me down again
I'm reminded of the wrong
That I have said and done
And that devil just won't let me forget

In this life
I know what I've been
But here in your arms
I know what I am

I'm forgiven
I'm forgiven
And I don't have to carry
The weight of who I've been
Cause I'm forgiven

My mistakes are running through my mind
And I'll relive my days, in
the middle of the night
When I struggle with my pain,
wrestle with my pride
Sometimes I feel alone, and I cry

When I don't fit in and I don't
feel like I belong anywhere
When I don't measure up to much in this life
Oh, I'm a treasure in the
arms of Christ ‘cause

I love the last stanza. It reminds me that no matter what other people think of me,

I am always going to be worth more than gold to God.
