Grace.

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
that saved a wretch like me
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see

Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved
How precious did tht grace appear
The hour I first believed

My chains are gone
I've been set free
My God, my Savior
Has ransomed me
And like a flood
His mercy reigns
Undending love, amazing grace.

I was absolutely rocked by this song tonight. It's always been an amazing song of course. But what a beautiful expression of the grace that the Lord has for us.

Saved a wretch like me- Turned me from a sinner into a winner.

Grace that taught my heart to fear- the Lord.

Grace my fears relieved- His grace overcame my fears of failure. Fears of worthlessness. Of never being able to make a difference.

How precious did that grace appear- May I never forget the beautiful transformation of my Spirit through the grace of my Heavenly Father.

The hour I first believed- It was there from the start of my journey with Him.

GLORIA A DIOS!!!!

Thoughts

Just started reading Esther Ahn Kim's biography 'If I Perish,' and I gotta say, it's amazing. It reminds me of just how important it is to know the Scriptures. I mean, what would we do if there were no longer a Bible? It scares me to think that I would fall under the category of not knowing enough.

Joy in the mundane.. something I'm truly seeking from the Lord. I think a lot of people can fall into this category. School can be monotonous, but in the joy of the Lord, it can also be the best thing ever, knowing that it is where the Lord has you to be. It's hard to get there of course. But the grass is so much greener on the other side.

Am I making a difference? A friend of mine played a music video the other day for me and it was simply a Christian singer that pulled into a gas station and on the side of the road and just prayed that the Lord would send people her way that needed saving. I want to do that. I want to do more than just talk about God amongst my friends. I think a lot of times I get caught up in the idea that in order to do that, I need money for a missions trip or something along those lines, when really all I need are my two feet, the Holy Bible, and a submissiveness to my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ that He might move, only by his power, through me.

May His will be done here on this earth as it is in Heaven.
