I remember what it was like to be blind,
Searching for truth in the darkness and despair.
But then He revealed Himself to me,
And now I see, His truth is everywhere.
I feel sorrow and pity for those who don't know Him,
Especially for His chosen elect, still waiting to see.
How could anyone who believes, have any pride,
When everything they have is a gift from Thee?
But I too struggle with pride, oh Lord,
Even pride in Your grace and Your love.
Purge my heart of all self righteousness,
Fill it with Your love from above.
Help me to lean on Your Spirit, dear Lord,
For all things, and not on my own understanding.
Prepare my heart for eternity, I pray,
Filled with Your love, overflowing and expanding.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
