The Diamond Psalm

The Diamond Psalm – gps

God.

His holiness

shines through me.

Every  action  of  mine

reflects on His everlasting glory.

Even   when   I   fail   at   something,

my   sins   still   contribute   to   His   story.

In my continual striving to become more Christlike,

 I often discover areas where  I  have made  improvements,

many more places where  my deficiencies yet yearn for correction,

and still more  categories  where  I’ve actually  taken a  step  backwards.

If I am to live in the Spirit, rather than the flesh,

I  cannot  treat  salvation  as  permission  to  sin  and  be  forgiven.

I must strive towards the Christian ideal of eliminating sins.

I   owe   it   to   the   Holy   Trinity   to   improve.

For  when I  fail,  and succumb to instincts,

it    does   not   reflect   solely  on   me.

It  also  reflects   on  my   Savior,

Jesus Christ, King of Kings;

it   greatly  grieves  the

Holy Spirit;  and

it  defiles

God.
