How Can It Be?!

This past Sunday we sang a song during worship that always seems to grab my attention. The words that get me are "Amazing love how can it be that you my King would die for me?". I can't help but to contemplate the depth of that question. How can it be? It is extremely difficult to comprehend why He would chose to do that for me! The depth of the love that God has for us is absolutely amazing. Later in that service we sang another song with the words "Jesus You gave Your everything for me, I give my all to you". As these words were sung I had an internal struggle to reconcile these two songs. It came out something like this..."How can it be that You my King would die for me? I've failed to give you my all...How can it be, How can it be?!" I found myself acknowledging that as much as I wanted to sing the last song, I couldn't honestly say those words knowing the sacrifice that was made on my behalf! At the same time, it's incredible to attempt to fathom the depth of love that God has knowing that I would fall consistently short and He wanted to make sure that despite my failures he made a way for me to stay in relationship with him.

Thank you Lord for Your grace and mercy!
