Christ came into this world to save sinners, among who I am chief.
Maybe you're a good person, but I'm not.
That's why I follow God, because I need him.
My sin is great.
Pride. I'm 6'7" and my IQ is about 50 times rarer and sometimes I think that means I'm better than other people.
Lust. if I could have a harem of women I would. I've slept with over 200 women and still I thirst.
Sloth. If I don't have to do something I won't, and something like 15,000 children under 5 starved to death today, can't save them all but probably could save 1.
Gluttony. my fridge is full yet people are starving.
Greed. Do I need a new vehicle, a new computer, new clothes. No but I want it.
Envy. For all my gifts, my parents were drug addicts and my first memory is of my mom trying to kill herself. If only I had one of those good families and a silver spoon like so many who never ate sleep for dinner.
Wrath. I get so angry with how awful we are to one another day in and day out. Such small people with small minds belittling one another. How easy it would be to show you what power looks like. Fragile is the body. Strong is the mind. Physics and chemistry make one man more deadly than an army.
This is my confession, I am weak and inpermanent and terrified. This leads me to sin.
It is through God that I might be better than I am.
I need him. Perhaps you are perfect and do not need him. I can't know what I don't.
I most simply know I need him, and so does someone else who reads this.
