I am like Adam, for I allow myself to be led astray by others.

I am like Abraham, for I lie to save my own skin.

I am like Moses, for I want to do things my own way.

I am like Israel, for I complain endlessly.

I am like David, for I lust for that which is not mine.

I am like Jacob, for I deceive the ones I love.

I am like Jonah, for I sometimes resent your mercy to others.

I am like the man who owed far more than he was owed, for I do not reciprocate the grace extended to me.

I am like Samson, for I am destroyed by my own desire.

I am like Solomon, for I choose my own wisdom over Yours.

I am like Thomas, for I doubt.

I am like Peter, for I deny.

I am like Jesus, for I have died.

I am like me, for I do not rise again.

And You are like You when You forgive me anyway.
