Oh, It Is Wonderful!
"I stand all amazed at the love Jesus offers me, confused at the grace that so fully He proffers me; I tremble to know that for me He was crucified that for me, a sinner, He suffered, He bled, and died.
I marvel that He would descend from His throne divine, to rescue a soul so rebellious and proud as mine; that He should extend His great love unto such as I; sufficient to own, to redeem, and to justify.
I think of His hands pierced and bleeding to pay the debt! Such mercy, such love and devotion can I forget? No, no! I will praise and adore at the mercy seat, until at the glorified throne I kneel at His feet.
Oh, it is wonderful that He should care for me, enough to die for me! Oh, it is wonderful, wonderful to me!"
~Charles H. Gabriel
I found a new favorite hymn (well, at least for this week) while I was picking out hymns for church this weekend. It sums up the gratitude that is spilling from my heart this evening. I can't understand God's love for rebellious, prideful me. His love and mercy are so amazing. He knows everything about me, down to my deepest thought and still loves me and wants to have fellowship with me. Wow!!
I am so thankful that He loves me like a father loves his child. He won't ever let me wander too far away without bringing me back to Himself. He is so good!!
