I'm not a sinner because I sin; I sin because I'm a sinner.

Sometimes I cuss. Sometimes I gossip. Sometimes I cheat or take the easy way out at school. Sometimes I steal music. Sometimes I lie. Sometimes I speed. Sometimes I forget to see the beauty in everyone. Sometimes I make dirty jokes. Sometimes I flirt with guys I shouldn't even give the time of day. Sometimes I flirt to get my way. Sometimes I neglect my family. Sometimes I'm selfish. Sometimes different people bring out different parts of me. Sometimes I let bad thoughts run through my mind. Sometimes I feel negative. Sometimes I'm very sarcastic. Sometimes I break rules. Sometimes I feel torn between good little church girl and the opposite. Sometimes I know what I should do and still don't do it. Sometimes I forget my money is actually God's. Sometimes I stand up in church to look good. Sometimes I know I should be standing but don't. Sometimes I skip quiet times. Sometimes I don't let God have control. Sometimes I compromise my integrity. Sometimes I feel like a hypocrite. Sometimes I forget to thank God for all He gives me, all He does, all He is. Sometimes I give Satan a foothold. Sometimes I don't trust God. Sometimes I forget what an unfaithful, sinful, broken mess I am. Sometimes I forget I need saving. 
Often I drag my God's name through dirt.
STILL He loves me.
ALWAYS His blood covers my sins.
ALWAYS He knows the depths of my heart but loves me the same.

If He can love a sinner like me, I promise He can love a sinner like you.
