So that last blog got a few comments/ questions so I feel I must explain further. For those of you who read it in email or Facebook only, you missed the whole YouTube video of the song. They were all lyrics to a song I love. You have to click on the link to the actual blog to see the video.
Unfortunately D, I am not that deep. I am horrible at sharing my feelings, especially those of a spiritual nature. I am always fearful to be labeled a "Jesus Freak" even though I kinda am. It's not a bad thing, is it? Which is why I didn't write more the first time. I thought the song spoke for my thoughts by its self...guess I thought wrong.
The reason this I love this song...
I was raised LDS (Mormon). My previous religion didn't really focus on God's grace as much as good works. Though it was there and I knew I would be forgiven when I messed up. I wasn't appreciative of the whole grace thing.
I didn't really get the GRACE thing until about a year ago. That no matter what, nor how many times I messed up, (the lyrics I've been here before, but here I am again) that I am still good with guy upstairs. Which is why I also sometimes feel like a hypocrite, asking for forgiveness than repeating the same mistake all over again. But it's such a relief knowing HE will be there to pick me up, undo what I've become and bring me back to a place of forgiveness and grace.
Whew..does that make sense now?
