I'M So Ashamed Can God Help Me

I’m So Ashamed… Can God Help Me? I’ve done many things that I’m ashamed of… Many “failures” I’ve had. I’m not proud of! Many struggles and problems I’ve tried to “shrug.” Too often I tried to “hide them under the rug.” At the time I thought I was “pretty cool.” This was what my “friends” would also do!” As the many sins I committed began to “come out.” I began to question what life is really about??? Not thinking about the consequences they would bring. I too often had my mind “on other things!” I wanted things that would bring “instant gratification.” I would “rush into things,” with no reservations! I wish I would have listened to what my parents told me… I neglected the Godly instructions in how they raised me! My life now seems to be racing down a slippery slope. So many times I wonder if there is any kind of hope. Can God help me now? Or is it too late? Will my life end up in a dreadful fate? Dear Jesus, I humbly come to you and confess… Please take me now… My life is a HUGE mess! Many of my days have been dark and sad… I need true peace and joy that I never had! I know you can totally change my life from within! And restore my life so I can be saved and BORN AGAIN! In YOU I can find wholeness from my head to my feet. It’s only in YOU that I can be made COMPLETE! By Jim Pemberton

Jim your words ring true for so many of us...this I believe. For me, I choose to take the bad with a good...and asked myself what lesson was I suppose to learn from this. Then try and remember the lesson and not continue to make the same mistakes...Thank you as always. Peace and blessings.
