Compared to you

Compared to you, O God, I am just scum.
The vast wonders you have created are endless.
Yet, you tell me to come.
Come into your presence.


Compared to your love, I am pitiful.
I do not deserve it in the least.
I can't even begin to comprehend how you love so easily.
I fall to my knees in amazement. I lift my hands to you.

You could toss me aside, but you love me unconditionally.
When I am scum, you beautify me.
You cleanse me.
You love me.

Thank you for posting this! I, too, often feel like a scoundrel- and yet my Bridegroom chooses to lavish His tenderness upon me. He forgives; He draws me to righteousness. None of this is what I deserve. But He isn't selling it- He's giving it.
