I'm not known to many as a deeply religious person or a highly spiritual person. I would never brand myself as a religious person either. To me, Christianity is not a religion. It wasn't stuffed down my throat or just because my mom was into it i was forced into it too. It was my choice to accept this relationship i have with my God. I've been through pretty rough times these few weeks. I'm sure from the previous posts any sight impaired person can also see that I wasn't too happy with the way my life is going so far. For non-believers its quite difficult to understand what its like to have a Heavenly figure you can look up to. It's not like you can touch Him or you can hear Him but its just weird how He finds ways to drum things into your heart and make you weep like a little baby. Well i did just that this morning in church. I cried and i cried bucket loads of tears. We were singing this hymn and the dam just broke on me. It made me feel so guilty and convicted and at the same time so comforted that there is someone looking out for me. I am assured that no matter how bad i fall and how bad i screw up, I have my God i can fall back on. I can see the light now.
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I knoww that it is finished
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast inJesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom
Emmanuel
