I was talking with God today, this is how that conversation went:
I said-
I'm sorry that we steal, when we should be giving to those who lack.
I'm sorry that we speak lies, when we should be listening to Your truths.
I'm sorry that we judge, when we should be accepting of others.
I'm sorry that we hate, when we really should be loving.
I'm sorry that we destroy, when we should be building.
I'm sorry that we kill Your creations, when we should be creating life.
I'm sorry that we hurt others, when we should be healing those who hurt.
I'm sorry that we curse, when we should be singing of Your Grace.
I'm sorry that we push You out, when we should be bringing You in.
I'm sorry that we don't appreciate Your work, when we should be marveling at it's amazement.
I'm sorry that we get angry, when we should be happy.
I'm sorry that we are lazy, when we should be actively working for You.
I'm sorry that we starve for a "perfect body", when we should be happy we even have food.
I'm sorry that we lock those up, who should be set free.
I'm sorry that we pollute, when we should treasure Your land.
I'm sorry that we cheat from others, when we should be helping those in need.
I'm sorry that we take, when we should be sharing.
I'm sorry that we ignore You, when we should be listening.
I'm sorry that we are speechless, when Your word should be spoken through us.
I'm sorry that we use for bad what was meant for good.
I'm sorry that we sin, when we should be living for You.
And God said-
I FORGIVE YOU
1 John 1:9
"If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness."
