The whole
way
I went
about
solving my
problems was that
I had
always
hung onto
soap bubbles
and hoped
they could
pull me
out of my
mud.
I tried everything
that had
promised me
a quick and
easy solution –
the whole spectrum.
By doing
that
I lost more
and more money
and my
schedule got tighter and tighter.
I never wanted to take responsibility
for my own
misbehavior.
With
frequently changing
opinions
and arguments
I tried to conceal
my own
misconduct.
Unfortunately
even then
every
argument burst
like a soap
bubble.
Through that I got stuck
deeper and
deeper in my own mud
and I was
at risk of drowning.
Then someone told me
that only Jesus’
offer of forgiveness
was the
reliable way
out of my
failure.
He doesn’t
push my mistakes
to the
side,
he doesn’t
make a big deal
out of them,
but he
forgives them
out of his
free will
and teaches
me a better life.
Up until now I had not come across
anything
like that.
All it cost
me
was to openly
confess my faults to him
and ask for
forgiveness
with the
goal
to not
repeat them again.
But even
then he offered me
his
forgiveness.
For the first time in my life
I found a
solution
for all my
failures
and
mistakes,
and when I
tried it out
I found far
more than mere forgiveness.
I found
healing and restoration
for my broken
soul.
Finally I
felt comfortable
as a human
again.
Thank you Jesus
that you
are not
just
another soap bubble!
