even if I am stuck in my ruts

I may not have changed completely
I am a work in progress,
even if I am stuck in my ruts,
my sin, my bad habits, behaviors.
God sees me as a new creation
a child with new life in Christ…
 
I am so clearly broken,
but God knows my future…
 
God knows my purpose,
His calling for my life.
I am not irreparably broken,
Christ has healed me already
All of my sin was nailed to the cross.
Christ’s love set me free…
