Cleansed and Purified
Tonight was the penance service for our parish and I was confessing my failings. Fr told me to continue to pray for God's grace to change me, because I cannot change myself.
Instead of totally surrendering my many faults, I have continued to struggle to overcome them myself, to no avail.
Fr reminded me that I must even surrender those things that I think aren't worthy of surrendering because God chose to join our dysfunctional family.
He knows my faults and loves me in spite of them, ever forgiving and ever willing to strengthen me and guide me as I seek to know and love Him more.
Thank you, my Lord, for opening the door to forgiveness.
