Wearing Sin!?!







Some of Us Wear Sin Like Deodorant!
It is Like 24 Hour On Duty!
It is Only Discovered When It's Protection Has Failed 
For Lack Of Scheduled Maintenance Renewal!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Perfume!
It Smells Good On Us!
The Sin Is Only Discovered When
It Shows Up As The Covering Scent Wears Off!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Mouthwash!
As Long As We Keep our Mouths Washed
There Is Hope Of Discovery!
Lack of Reapplication And The Stench Comes Out!

Some Of Us Wear Sin Like Nail Polish!
The Ugliness Is Covered Up 
Until The Polish Starts To Crack
And Chip and Peel Off, and 
Suddenly
Whoops! There It Is! 
The Certain Exposure!

Some of Us Wear Sin Like Good Diapers!
Nothing Leaks Out!
Problem Comes When We Forget 
To Make The Needful Change 
In Padded Protection, and 
The Stench Wafts Out and Up, and 
There Is The Amazing Discovery!

I Don't Know About You,  Friend
BUT
I've Worn All
Of Sins' Camouflage!

I've Walked Like A Pillar Of Society
AND
I've Disdained Those Who 
Couldn't Conceal That They'd Been Bad
BUT
That Was Until The Day I Really Met King Jesus
AND
He Bade Me To Divest
AND
Take A Clean Bath!

I Had No Choice!
I Really Didn't
For 
I'd Broken Down
AND
Revealed All
AND
There Was Now No Place To 
Insert The Shame-faced Chagrined Laugh!

I Cried!
I Bowed!
I Prayed!
I Was No More Proud
For
The Underbelly Of The Slug Had Been Salted!

I Lifted Up My Ashamed Gaze!
I Saw My Master
Through The Teary Haze
AND
My Confession Led To
An Offer Of Eternal Days
By Walking Holy
Faithful
Trusting
Praising
Praying
AND
Leaning
On Him
Who Holds All My Days!

No More Hiding!

Confession and Repentance Have Collided
AND
On The Glory Road
This Repentant - Forgiven - Sinner 
Is Walking
AND
Residing!

Letter Of Application: Father? Please Use Me!


Twilight Hour, Day Before Day Before Eternity

God The. Almighty a/k/a Heavenly Father
The God Of All Graces
Court Of Heaven
Great Unknown

Re: Please Use ME!

Heavenly Father,


I offer to You my Prayers, and Grateful Praise in Worship!

Please allow me - by Grace - to boldly tell You, Father, why You should use me, for I am a reformed sinner, and a former denizen of the towns of Disrespect, Dancing On Disgrace, Denial of Self Is For Dummies, and of Life's Comforts' hamlet called Do Nothing That Is Called Good!!

I have a myriad years of wide, and varied, experience in Sinning, and have Earned and Penitential Certificates in Repentance, Confession, and Do and Be Good.

I have Associates Personal Knowledge Degrees in Would Have, Could Have, Should Have and Didn't, and many upgrade  and continuing education training units in Regrets, Lack of Self-Respect, Out Of Control, Intemperance, Worldly Wisdom and Buy A Clue.

The Love of God now constrains me BUT I have Exciting Life Experience in Doing The Wrong Thing, Guilty Pleasures, and Do What I Will Even If It Leaves Me Feeling Like Road-Kill.

You should also know that I was an Adrenaline Junkie, and always high on Life!

I have expert Knowledge in If I Ain't Lying I'm Dying.

I have eaten Thorough Vice, and have carried on an affair with What Is Life Without Spice, and I'm a past-master in Willful Self and Self-Deceit.

I wrote that No. 1 Best-selling book on Telling Cockamamie Stories, and I have personal and lengthy practice in Love Life on The Line. And, Father, to be painfully honest, Go Along To Get Along was a dear and true buddy of mine!

So, Father, please, won't use me?

Let Me be Your Instrument!

Use Me to point my familiar friend to The Golden Way, where Folly, Fame, Fancy, Fantasy, and Fortune are not fillips, and Foundation Stones of Truth mark out the Straight Path to Salvation Way.

Please know that Compensation is not an issue for me because I would work for free but The Lord, Jesus Christ, paid all my costs, and daily paves my Way.

I can do it, Father!

Please? Won't You use me?!
