Letting go and receiving - Give Jesus your burdens and misconduct, only he heals and saves



Letting go and receiving
(1405150701-07162605152207-2219)

I was able to let go of
all the feelings of guilt
about past misconduct.

I was able to let go of
all the bitterness,
the hatred, and the anger
about all those
who meant evil for me.

Instead of all this
I was able to receive
your endless love,
grace, and forgiveness.

You came to me
and doctored up and healed
my wounded soul.

In you I could find
a quietness and peace
that I had never known before.

Only after my hand
let go of all the trash
that I was hanging onto
was I able to hold onto your hand.

I could bring to you
my trash, all the wounds, and
leave them with you and let go of it.

And what you have given me instead
was way beyond anything
that I had known before.

You flooded me with a love
that I had not known
from a human before.

You accepted me
the way I was
and started a wonderful process
of healing in my life.

You gave me a pure heart
and dressed me in white
and took off the dirty and rugged outfit
that I had worn so far.

Oh Jesus
how thankful am I to you
that it had been your plan all along
to save me!
