On Being Human

"The sacrifice acceptable to God is a broken spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise." Psalms 51:17

Do we sin because we are basically sinners or because we are just human beings?
Are we sinners because we are weak to temptations or because human beings are weaklings?
Does it matter if we human beings sin and sinners repent?

A broken spirit is a spirit stripped of hatred.
A contrite heart is a heart devoid of conceit.
And a repentant sinner is a human being who fears God.

Prayer

Lord, Forgive me for I have sinned.

Lord, Give me a forgiving and repentant heart

And let my spirit rejoice in our grace.

Amen
