how many times

so I'm sitting in my room couple days ago and a song that I haven't heard in a really long time suddenly pops in my head. Maybe you've heard it before. Its called Grace by Silers Bald. . Here are the words

My heart is so proud.
My eyes are so unfocused.
I see the things You've done through me
As great things I have done.
And now You gently break me.
I cry just like a baby.
You hold me as my Father,
And mold me as my Maker.
Chorus:
And I ask You
How many times will You pick me up.
When I keep on letting You down?
And each time I will fall short of Your glory,
How far will forgiveness aboud?
And You answer, "My child, I love you,
And as long as you're seeking My face,
You'll walk in the power of My daily sufficient, grace."
At times I may grow weak.
And feel a bit discouraged.
Knowing that someone somewhere
Can do a better job.
For who am I to serve You?
I know, I don't deserve You.
But that's the part, that burns in my heart,
And keeps me hanging on.
(Chorus)
And You are so patient with me, Lord.
As I walk with You, I'm learning
About what Your grace really means.
How all of my transgressions
Were paid at Calvary.
So istead of trying to repay You,
I'm learning to simply obey You.
By giving up my life to You
For all that You've given to me.
(Chorus)
"My daily sufficient grace."

The words to the song really struck me. God is always there for us. When we are proud and unfocused, when we have our eyes and hearts set on everything but Him. NO matter how many times we continue to let God down, He is always there to pick us up again! That is what God is continuing to show me each and every day. He loves us beyond description, and no matter how many times we stray away from Him, no matter how much we let Him down. He will always pick us up again and be there for us. I hope this is some encouragement like it is to me. But always remember, God will always be there to pick you up, and wrap His arms around you and tell you that He Loves You.
