My Misconceptions

I thought if I was a good person I could make you happy

But you still new things no one else did…and they only made you grieve…

I thought that if you loved me you would never let me hurt

But you taught me that you often grow through pain…

I thought that you could never truly understand the things that I face…

But you understood more than I could ever comprehend

Isaiah 53:

He was looked down on and passed over,
a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—
our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.

I thought my sin wouldn’t really bother you that much

But you remind me that you died because that “little” sin…

We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.

But it was our sins that did that to him,
that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!

I know I must be frusterating and and don’t know if you can ever forgive me….

He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost.
We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way.
And God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong,
on him, on him.

I thought If I gave you everything you would take it all away from me forever

Yet your only giving me more…

John 10:10:

A thief is only there to steal and kill and destroy. I came so they can have real and eternal life, more and better life than they ever dreamed of.

You

Love

Me

Despite all my misconceptions.
