Undeserved GraceHe keeps me in the darkest times of my life.Despite the fact I do not deserve a wisp of His Grace. How may times will I ask Him to protect me from the situation I freely got myself into; When I could have avoided my troubles by seeking God's face? Just because I accepted Him as my Savior, Jesus never leaves me. Yet I leave Him there grieving over how I forget his teachings every day. I know he'll take me in His arms when I am lonely. Despite how far my sin has kept me away. If the basis of my salvation depended on my ways, There is no way I could ever achieve it's safety. I cannot go a day without falling. Yet, Christ catches me and wipes sin's stain way. All that I have I owe to Jesus, Still I am not at peace. Why can't I accept the provisions He has given, Instead of doing as I please. Will I ever understand how much He loves me? I know I will never deserve that love. And even in the darkest times, His light never stops shining from above. Jay Parr Back to Christian Poetry
