First Post

I was encouraged by my youth pastor's wife and a friend of mine to start a blog. A blog is my way of journaling and being held accountable for what I'm writing about. So here goes the first post. (:

This morning I woke up with a song in my head. I love it when this happens. Especially when the song is one that brings glory to God. The song was How He Loves by David Crowder Band. I absolutely love one of the lines of the song: If grace is an ocean, we're all sinking. Then I got to thinking: if grace, if mercy, if love is an ocean, we're all drowning. I love this picture.

The God of the universe and all of it's inhabitants loved us so much that He sent His only Son. Only Son. To die for us. I can't think of many parents who would send their child, especially their only one, to die for a world who would reject them and their love. Christians think of this a ludicrous, that the world would reject Jesus. But daily, we often reject Him. Instead of spending intimate time with Him, we choose instead to watch our favorite show or take a nap. This disgusts me, but I do it too.

So think about this. Christ died for us. We reject Him. But we are STILL sinking in His grace, mercy, and love.
