the difference between giving it my all or giving up.

so ive been searching for a while now. im so close. its crazy.
im afraid to jump for it and take that leap of faith.
im afraid because i dont want to fail at what i decide to stand for.
right now its so easy to be a genuine person, when all i stand for is being genuine. honest. trustworthy. but when i decide to stand for God, thats a lot harder.
i cant. i WILL mess up. i am going to stumble and theres nothing anyone can do about it.
i cant. i cant because im not perfect. i cant because everyone falls short of the glory of God. does anyone follow? i'd have to stand for everything. love. mercy. grace. forgiveness. honesty. faithfulness. justice. etc.
theres so much. and theres just no way thats humanly possible.
i dont want to be a hypocrite. i dont want to show my way of life, mess that up, and appear a liar.
the last thing i want to be is a liar.

  1. when you mess up, you go back and make things right in the Name of Jesus. That way people still see you are genuine.

    I love you, bf. :)

  2. its okay though. cause you don't have to do it on your own. you don't have to rely on your own strength and capabilities. when you take that leap of faith then you are no longer on your own....you get to live through grace.... when you're not enough, He is.
