ME, LORD
Today's reading: Psalm 6-8

"...Save me because of your unfailing love." Psalm 6:4 NLT

I'll borrow David's words because I couldn't come up with any better ones myself.

You see, Lord, I cannot ask you to save me because of anything I've done, I've defeated, I've given up or I've committed to do.

I've made open-ended promises to you before, You know that.

I've vowed allegiance and dedication in the storm and failed to come through when the rainbow appeared.

I've talked big. I've walked tall. I've spoken out. I've gone up front and spoken before the crowd.

But I've also not spoken when I should have. I've stumbled and fallen. I've refused to take a stand when I could have pointed someone to You.

I've fasted, until my stomach growled.

I've taken hold of your promises, gathered up Your blessings in my arms and feasted on miracles.

But I've also refused to let go of a few things You've asked me to hand over. I've held tightly to some characteristics, plans and ideas that need Your attention.

So, Lord, I cannot ask You to save my soul for any reason other than Your love for me. Your unfailing love.
