Prone to Wander

"O to grace how great a debtor
Daily I’m constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter,
Bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it,
Prone to leave the God I love;
Here’s my heart, O take and seal it,
Seal it for Thy courts above."

This verse of Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing rings increasingly true as I continue my walk with the Lord. The closer I get to my Father, the harder Satan tries to snatch my heart away. How prone I am to wander, Father! "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ--by grace you have been saved!--and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus." -Ephesians 2:4-7

I am so humbled to have a God that continues to forgive and love, though in my brokenness I continue to give my heart away to the world.
