Even if I’m innocent, I can’t hold my head high, because I am filled with shame and misery (Job 10:15; NLT).
What if I don’t need to feel so guilty
Just for thinking?
What if I don’t need to be ashamed
Of how I feel?
What if I don’t need to fear your anger
Day and night, Lord?
What if you are always keen
To understand, and heal?
What if I don’t need to chafe
That I am just a burden?
What if I don’t need to fret
That I am just a sham?
What if I don’t need to feel
So guilty for existing?
Then, Lord, I could be myself,
Exactly as I am.
My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life (John 10:10; NLT).
If the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed (John 8:36; NIV).
God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned (John 3:17-18; NIV).
