Standing here I am as normal as can be.
I live. I breathe. I love.
I cry. I laugh. I write.
This... is me.

However,
Standing here as I am,
Normal as can be, there is a voice that says I am not whole
Complete
Pure.

I am called a sinner
Impure
Wrong.
I cannot enter the gates of heaven as I am.

Yet I simply stand here as I am:
Normal as can be.

~¤~

Standing here I live as I would love to best.
Brilliantly. Beautifully. Bountifully.
Alone. With you. With others.
This...is life.

However,
Standing here as I live,
As I would love to best, there is a sight of selflessness that says I am not whole
Complete
Pure.

I am called a sinner
Self-serving
Impure
Wrong.
I cannot enter the gates of heaven as I am.

Yet I simply live here as I would love to:
To the best ideal.

Standing here I dream as I desire
Willfully. Wishfully. Hopefully.
Apathetically. Selfishly. Ideally.
This... is me.

However,
Standing here as I dream,
To every wile and woe in my heart, there is a touch that says I am not whole
Complete
Pure.

I am called a sinner
Self-praising
Impure
Wrong.
I cannot enter the gates of heaven as I am.

Yet I simply dream here as I am:
To my sole core nature as myself.

Standing here... I am tired.
Soulfully. Physically. Mentally.
Mind unfettered; heart numb; with body somewhere in-between.
This...is what?

Yes.
I am a broken mess.
Standing here, this is me. There is no "howeover" about it.
I am a Christian with so much love in her she doesn't know what to do with it sometimes.
So it dies- forgotten. Or goes to herself. Or turns to misplaced pity instead of directioned strength for the beloved.
I am not
Complete
Pure.

I am human.
A sinner-
A beautiful masterpiece scarred with every evil between the heart and sky...
Impure
Wrong.
I definitely cannot enter the gates of heaven as I am.

And I thus stand before you as I am-
Because there is no "yet"
And this is me.

~¤~

So...

Stop.
Stand there and know that
I understand Your sacrifice
My salvation
The Gospel is my light
And
Purpose-giving in my life.

Standing there,
You can see
God glorified.

To You....

Standing where you are as normal as can be

Standing where you are as normal as can be.
You live. You breathe. You love.
You cry. You laugh. You [_______].
This... is you.

However,
Standing where you are as you are,
Normal as can be, is there a voice that says you are not whole?
Complete
Pure?

And you are called a sinner
Impure
Wrong.
They say you cannot enter the gates of heaven as you are.

Yet you simply stand where you are?
As you are:
Normal as can be?



Have you accepted Christ into your heart?
