Pulled to Safety

Every one is selfish.

                    Each human being's world revolves around their own person. 

                Each is a ruler in his own mind. 

How? 

                    Is it possible to be King over the King. 

              We are a fallen people. 

     Living only for ourselves. 

We will never escape in this world. 

       Immaturity has us captive. 

             We are set in a pattern.

                   The weight pulls me to the bottom.

                           The hole is too deep now.

                                The raging river has swelled.

                                                 I am caught in the current.

i feel...

there is no rescue

            "For where you have envy and selfish ambition there you find disorder and every evil practice. But the wisdom that comes from heaven  is first of all pure; then peace loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial, and sincere."

James 3:16, 17

                     There is another way to live.

      Jesus came that we might live life to the fullest. 

                 He brought mercy,

                        though we have sinned.

                He has forgiven,

                      though we have spat in his face.

Each of us want to stand out.

   Why blend in with the world?

      Save me.

          I am yours.

            Save me. 

               Stop flailing...

I feel...

My rescuer has come.
