amor asombroso

What wondrous love is this, oh my soul... that caused the Lord of bliss to bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
When I was sinking down... beneath God's righteous frown, Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.
To God and to the Lamb, who is the Great I AM, I will sing...
And when from death I'm free, I'll sing on, and through eternity I'll sing on...

One of the most amazing worship songs. It reminds me of the humble, awe-struck presence we are called to as followers of Christ.

I just wish I could approach the rest of my life with that confidence. That I don't really give a damn what anyone else thinks of me, I KNOW where I'm going when I die and I have such hope to LIVE the rest of my life for. In hopes that others will see... In hopes that others will come to KNOW GOD just by being a part of my life. Because just like that song, I shout it out with all of my being that Christ died for me, He's changed my heart and I live for him- because God has mercy on me and allows me to still walk this earth.

But alas.... the prince of this world awaits at every turn to try and pull me away, to distract me from the HOPE to which I cling. I loosen my grip and almost forget about it. Until I've gotten myself into such a mess, I cry out to the One who I know can and will rescue me...

And the cycle starts again...

But no matter how frustrating/complicated/disheartening this journey may be, I won't give up. I will continue to fight to break the cycle.

For the rest of my days, I'll sing on...
