I'm trying to be a good person but have failed in many ways...but by the grace of God will continue to try to bring my life into acceptable lines in what God wants for my life.
I try to never take the name of God in vain.
I do not hold anything higher in my life than my love of God...things of life are just passing and will not go with me when I die.
I have not always kept the Sabbath holy.
I honor my Father and Mother and never disrespect them.
I have never murdered anyone.
I have commited adultry...not once but many times.
I have lied...which breaks the commandment of bearing false witness.
I do not ever want what someone else has only what I personally earn in life or given to me through prayer from God...thus have not broken the commandment of coveting what my neighbor has...I am always grateful to see those I know prosper. I did however get this one wrong as a child...I wanted to dress 'in style' as the other kids did.
WELL...there you have it I'm not a good person...I have failed in many regions of my life...what some feel are aspects of a 'good' person are only workings of life to me and I want only what God sees fit in my life...I don't always suceed.
