Awesome

I am on my knees giving account for the life I have led.
I left behind me hungry children with no place for home when I could have taken them in.
I watched as my brothers carried burdens and I did nothing to relieve their load even when their was room in my truck.
I took the affections of women who could have loved me because it was more comfortable than doing without.
I angered and overlooked the good my parents did to secure my way in this life.
I consistently looked at my neighbors good wife and wished that she were mine.
I took forever to forgive even the smallest of trangressions because they would not act the way I wanted.
I sought hostilities against my brothers because I envied their control or could not defeat their argument with logic.
I ignored the elderly when they gave so much and were the holders of wisdom that could free me from my complications.
I satiated my desires even when I was conscious that they would lead to my eventual demise.
I took from my neighbor and justified it out of my need and his abundance.
I failed to trust that the Lord would provide for me and sought to build a house without him.
I ate more than I needed, took more than my share and horded shiny things to look at when I was alone to make up for feeling insignificant.
I knew what was right and still I did wrong.
I told lies to make me look large or to win against my transgressors.
I kept silent when I knew my words or actions could have saved my brothers and sisters from harm.
I showed false face to get what and where I wished to go.
I loved people greatly and sought to ease their pain.
I made music and sang songs to enrich the hearts of those weary from the fight.
I took the time to tell my parents how much I cared for them and how grateful for what they did for me.
I asked for forgiveness of my transgressions from others and have allowed the ill they did me to wash through my heart.
I helped brothers and sisters back to their feet when they had fallen.
I asked the Lord for pardon from the debt I have left behind or benefit I have wrongfully gained.
I let children and adults know how perfect they were so that they felt strong as he made them.
I tried to live a life without collecting treasures choosing to give away what I did not need or pass on things that could benefit those to stay behind me.
I carried my brothers burden until he once again could stand the load.
I put aside my arrogance, greed and ambition for power seeking rather to serve those around me.
I tried to multiply what he had given me so that others would find their way to his light.
I was thankful for his eternal love and cherished what I had been given.
I became who he sent me to the earth to be.
