my broken bottle.

The Lord gave me a glass bottle,
and said, "You better take care,
Dont let anything happen to it,
but you must take it everywhere.
It represents your life,
when something happens to you,
something will happen to it.
So just be careful what you do."
Many years have passed.
and my bottle isnt in very good shape.
Dirty glass and lots of cracks.
pieces being held on with tape.
it was one drop too many.
it dropped and shattered.
to me that bottle was important,
yes, it really mattered.
i cried out to the Lord.
he took the bottle and fixed it.
then he gave it back to me,
once again it was perfect.
i went back to my life,
back to my old sin.
once again i dropped it
and it shattered again,
he came and fixed it once more.
i said "Lord, forgive me of my sin.
please take my bottle and protect it."
and i handed the bottle to him
i discovered i cant protect it myself.
so i gave it to the Lord.
for one more drop of the bottle,
i fear i cant afford.
