My Instagram Love

Do with me as you please, but temper justice with mercy.” I coughed, groaned again, and continued mumbling: “Dear Lord, all I ask for is Your grace, forgiveness and compassion over my wretched soul. Envelope me with Your love and let my spirit dwell in thy canopy of goodness, divinity and purity. Let Your blessed angels take charge over me; for I am nothing but an ungrateful sinner—a mere mortal with natural flaws…”

I coughed again, still groaning terribly but striving to hang in-between life and death for some time.

“Do not forsake me oh Lord!” I cried out with bitterness in my fragile heart, feeling my heavy eyes closing by themselves and my nervous system shutting down involuntarily.
Indeed, ‘it is finished.’
