In the course of my life the mistakes, pride, sin, incompetence, foolishness, wrongs, misdirected anger, willful ignorance, terrible attitudes, lack of wisdom and careless words have been many. To say I have fallen short is almost describing it in a way that is too kind.
“…[F]or all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God…” Romans 3:23
I know Romans 3:23 to be true from firsthand experience. It is embarrassing.
If not for God’s mercy and grace, I would be lost. Thank you Lord for being compassionate to characters like me.
“The Lord is compassionate and merciful, slow to get angry and filled with unfailing love.” Psalm 103:8
“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
