Truths to remember

Days go by and struggles come,

sometimes I win, sometimes I lose. 

The flesh in me wants to do wrong, 

the Spirit says to do right.

I want to do right. I don't always succeed.

The problem is no matter how hard I try to justify it,

wrong is never right, and truth never lies.

I wrestle with my flesh, I want His peace.

I forget that peace never fights.

When will I learn to sit still in His peace

and let Him do the fighting.

I yearn for brokenness, 

and it comes in the form of tears.

The trouble is that tears, they dry.

I search for ways to earn my way back to Him, 

yet I somehow forget,

  that His grace is always free.

I am convinced that I have to earn His love,

and that it runs out.

But I don't, and it doesn't.

The beauty of my Savior is

that His love is free

and it never runs dry.
