Unworthy but so Grateful

This Easter weekend I am reminded of how great God's love is. I am reminded of the ultimate sacrifice he made for me. When I really sit and think about how I treat my God, and how he desperately desires a close relationship with me I feel so unworthy of the sacrifice he made for me. It makes me wonder why it's so hard for me to stop trying to do it all on my own and just give it all to him. I've done it before and life was so much easier then.

God gave us a free will to make our own choices, but he wants us to choose him. He wants us to let him help us. He wants us to trust in him and have faith that he will take care of us. To have faith even when it seems things can't get worse and then they do. God loves us when we are going through tough times, even when it seems he is no where around and you wonder how could he let this happen. I truly believe there is a spiritual warfare out there with Satan, and sometimes he gets the best of us.

God wants us to seek him, to find him and ask him to help us. God is with us always, he only wants the best for us. He loves us so much and desires our love in return, that he gave his son, to die on the cross for our sins, because we are all sinners and we can't get into heaven because of our sins. Jesus went through excruciating pain and death for me and you and all of our sins! I am forgiven all the time for the sins I make, all because of the love and sacrifice he made for me. I am so glad to know that I will one day get to go to heaven to be with him, and that all of my struggles and suffering will be over one day when I get there! Oh, what a happy day that will be!





"This Man"

In only a moment truth
Was seen revealed this mystery
The crown that showed no dignity he wore
And the king was placed for all the world
To show disgrace but only beauty flowed from this place

Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands

He held the weight of impurity
The father would not see
The reasons had finally come to be to
Show the depth of his grace flowed with
Every sin erased he knew that this was
Why he came

Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands

And we just don't know the blood and
Water flowed and in it all
He showes just how much he cares
And the veil was torn so we could have
This open door and all these things have
Finally been complete

Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
Would you take the place of this man
Would you take the nails from his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands
From his hands


This video doesn't have the whole song that I wanted to share but has a great message at the end. If you haven't excepted Jesus into your heart, please do it today. If you aren't sure and need someone to talk to, my door is always open. I will answer any question you may have the best I can.
