What is it to be a slave?
Bound, imprisoned, never to see the Light of day
A feeling of deep loss and hopelessness
Why be emancipated, then go back to slavery?
I confess to myself..
I know I'll sin, I just know it!
But wait, speaks my soul...
I must think victory, not defeat
I must awake to Grace, not sorrow
For Jesus is my Savior and Lord!I am free of sinful nature
For I died to self, with Him
Author notes
This is about dieing to self so that He might accomplish what He started in us.Romans 6:1-23

Yeah,i like this very much and we MUST die to self. and yeah right why in the world should we think defeat when we know very well that in Him we have got victory.But this is a great piece.

excellent
you did a great job with this! we are all slaves to sin...but only if we allow sin in our life. sin is a slippery thing, likes to sneak in when we least expect it.
"I confess to myself..
I know I'll sin, I just know it!
But wait, speaks my soul...
I must think victory, not defeat"
the trick is to be on guard all the time, physically, mentally and emotionally....a difficult thing.
you have expressed all this in the simplest of terms that is a balm to read and speak. thank you. you are so talented. God bless you

I confess to myself..I know I'll sin ,I just know it! - ellipses three dots, there is a space between sin and the comma too in the second line too, there are no spaces after the commas - it would look much better if you had all lines with commas as you have the fourth line.
But wait!Speaks my soul...I must think victory, not defeat -
a space needed after wait!
a good piece, just needs a dusting with the edit cloth lol
spill ink and twist me into the crazy shape of love...
