But Lord, I long to give You back something. I must, I cannot continue living unless I give back to You a little of that magnificent love You bestow on me minute by minute. Yet alas, I have nothing to give, only my obedience. If I long to give something back to You so much, and my surrendered obedience is the only thing You ask for, then it would seem that I would master the task of full obedience to You. But such is not the case. My wicked heart strays from Your will. My mind wanders from the truth. And my mouth displays my sin for all the world to see. Yes, I am indeed an unworthy wretch. Yet Your love, Your forgiveness, Your mercy, is new every morning. It is a deep, deep well that never runs dry.

That's beautiful, Janel.
I love your new "quote of the day".
Did you get it from Authentic Beauty? When I had read it in AB I typed and printed it out to go in my room.
That prayer is so true Janel...and I like the quote too! Thanks! :)
Yes Kelsey, I did get it from Authentic Beauty. I just finished reading it. It is a really good book!
Thanks Abbie.
