Perfection.

Once, I beleived that I
could acheive excellence
and goodness all of my own accord.
I gave no thought of
dependence on Jesus Christ, my Lord.
Self righteous, I thought myself
near to perfection.. I
thought I was a walking, talking
Metro Golden Meyer projection.

Now I have earned, by all the mistakes I have
learned.. a place where honor is reserved by humility
and self pride given the place she deserves, by humility.
And the only good in me is found in Christ my
Lord,within me.. as He gave His all to win me..
..I surrender to Him daily, hoping
that I can die so i can live..
that I may always walk in His Spirit
and the holy love He gives!

          Ask Him to make Himself real to you and to reveal HIs heart of love to you.He will!Jesus loves you so much that He gave His life's blood on the cross, so you wouldn't have to spend eternity away from Him!

    Beautiful

    We all have to reach this place one day and the unfortunate part is for some that day may never come. But I believe in what you write. Thank you for sharing "perfection" with me!

    Wow, beautiful thoughts! Do me a huge favor. I want very much to include your poem in the judging. Please cinch up the lines so that it is within the guidelines of 12 to 24 lines. One poem didn't qualify for being 40 lines. Yours is 29 but easily edited to less. Thank you.

    This is one of the most inspiring poems I've read in some time. If we'd all come to realize and accept that we are nothing without Christ in our lives, this world would be as near to heaven as Earth can get. This is a beautiful testament to your faith. Good luck in the contest.
