Forgive so that you may be forgiven

Twenty-Four by Switchfoot

Twenty four oceans
Twenty four skies
Twenty four failures
Twenty four tries
Twenty four finds me
In twenty-fourth place
Twenty four drop outs
At the end of the day
Life is not what I thought it was
Twenty four hours ago

Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And I'm not who I thought I was twenty four hours ago
Still I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You

Twenty four reasons to admit that I'm wrong
With all my excuses still twenty four strong

See I'm not copping out not copping out not copping out
When You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now

And You're raising these twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts
But I wan to be one today
Centered and true

I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
You're raising the dead in me
Oh, oh I am the second man
Oh, oh I am the second man now
Oh, oh I am the second man now
And You're raising the dead in me

I want to see miracles, see the world change
Wrestled the angel, for more than a name
For more than a feeling
For more than a cause
I'm singing Spirit take me up in arms with You
And You're raising the dead in me
Twenty four voices
With twenty four hearts
With all of my symphonies
In twenty four parts.
I'm not copping out. Not copping out. Not copping out.

I'm still focusing on the Lord's Prayer and this song is one of the reasons.
I am learning to dig deep into words for He is The Word and i want to be closer each day of my life and this song made me listen and dig deep as today is the day i get to drive 5 hours to Mesquite to return middle child and see Mr. L and i still have anger and resentment towards him. BUT the Lords Prayer says

Matt 6:14 For if you forgive men when they sin against you, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. :15 But if you do not forgive men their sins, your Father will not forgive your sins.

So there are 24 reasons why i need to forgive him and 24 worldly reasons why i haven't.

Dared to Move.

Are you all that you could be? I know that i am not therefore i strive to be better each day, better than the day before; as I live the Lords Prayer day by day.......
a tear comes to my eye....good bye
