Captivate my heart, dear Jesus
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Forgive me, O Lord, for I did not trust You for Your promise that You will provide for me. Forgive me that I numbered the total pay I would be getting out of the four odd jobs You've given me. Forgive me that I did not trust Your heart that You will provide more than enough for me to pay my bills.
Forgive me Lord.
Who am I, O Lord, to demand of You to give me this and that. Who am I, O Lord, to manipulate You into giving me things simply because I am Your child? Who am I to demand of it? Forgive me Lord. For I took Your kindness for granted.
But You still are so gracious and merciful. You still provided for me. You didn't need to. You could have left me there to be humiliated and lacking, but You didn't.
You are so good. I don't deserve any of it. Though I am Your child, I have no right to demand it of You, for You are Father. You don't need to give me everything I ask for, for You are Father. Forgive me of my disrespect and irreverence. Forgive me, O Lord.
I thank You that You are so good. I thank You that You hear my prayer. You could choose not to answer them because of all my wrong motives and bad attitude. You could, Lord. I thank You for Your lovingkindness, for Your patient love for me.
I thank You for being Father, for being so good to me. I know I deserved spanking. But I thank You for Your mercy. You are so good. I didn't deserve any of it.
Thank You. Thank You so much for all that You've done for me.
Thank You for Your rebuke, thank You for Your discipline and rod.
Thank You for Your tender mercy that I do not deserve.
Thank You for Your love for me.
I thank You that You are Father.
I don't have anything to offer You, Lord.
But I offer myself, if it'll be of any use.
Thank You for Your love.
Thank You for Your love.
