Grappling With Divinity

I follow Christ
not because I am good
but because He is good
for on my own
my will led me to despair
desolation and self destruction
in my weakness
He is strong
in my mistakes
He is forgiving
in my grieving
He is my comfort
in my nothingness
I turned to Him
and He gave me everything
~Robert Van Valkenburgh
