Don't feel selfish. We all have our dark demons to contend with. What exquisite, bittersweet truth it is to know that all the sins we have committed, are committing and will commit have already been paid for by a loving Savior. Just know that there is a God in heaven and a Savior who died for you and for me. That is my testimony regardless how many times I fall. Don't let your testimony be about how weak or strong you are, but in the strength that you can receive from the Lord when you're ready to take His hand each time you fall. I'm right there with you, bud. We all are. And from now on when I'm feeling weak, I will read your poem that you just shared. I think we can all see ourselves as that one little lost sheep. Keep the faith!
