People Like Me

What if I told you, what would you say
Would you stand by me, would you walk away
What if my walls came down and you saw everything

All of my weakness
All of my scars
All that I’ve hidden
Deep in my heart
For so long
And I’m scared to set it free

Show me a life that’s broken
Can be redeemed
Show me that You can handle my honesty
And help me to know
You’ll never let go
Your love won’t ever leave
Show me that grace was made
For people like me

You say I’m forgiven
Being restored
But it’s hard to feel it
Here in this storm
Torn between who I’ve been and who I want to be

Jesus, I need You
Need You to be
Hope in the darkness searching for me
Out of this doubt
Lord, help me to believe

Oh, my weak heart
And Your strong arms
Give me faith when mine is gone
Only trusting in Your mercy
Can set free
People like me

Show me Your arms are open
Your blood redeems
Show me that You can love
Even me

“Jesus, I need You
Need You to be
Hope in the darkness searching for me
Out of this doubt
Lord, help me to believe”

These verses so speak to me when I doubt who I am in Christ. I know I am loved by God. There are days that self-doubt creeps in. I have to remember the evil one is here to destroy us, to prevent us from reaching our full potential in God’s kingdom. As the father that brought his son for Jesus to be healed said,

Immediately the boy’s father exclaimed, ‘I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!’
Mark 9:24

We are made to worship Him and to have a relationship with Him. Because of sin, shame, and guilt, we have been separated from God. Only…God does not want us to feel this way. He wants us to forgive ourselves and seek Him with all of our heart. He wants our total dedication to the pursuit of spreading His love to others.

 

Father, thank You for loving us.  Thank You for helping us see who we are in You. Forgive us when we doubt who we are in You. You made us perfect. Help us see who we are in You. Thank You!  In Jesus’ name, Amen.
