What we forsake

 
Been thinking about God's ever gracious nature and how audacious we are as human beings to take it so lightly. It's even worse for us Christians because we know, we're not ignorant like those who do not know about God, those who do not share a personal relationship with Him.
We know how dark our lives were,
               how deeply we were entangled in sin
               how lost we were...
 before we realised Christ died to save us from ourselves, to bring us to the light.

The creator of all the universe, of everything we have, everything we see
Made Himself like us...
Can you imagine? A being such as who God is, taking the form of us weak mortals?

And not just to live and suffer and go through hard stuff like we do everyday
But to bear ALL our sins? All however-many-billion... actually, He died for everyone, even those yet to be born
So that's more than 7 billion 'people-loads' of sin
All on one person, one 'man-God', one God personified...

And yet we still sin
 We still go ahead and do what we know is not right..
I'm amazed at our behaviour,
      amazed at my own audacity

It's really baffling that I'm still alive
  And if I am still alive, since I am still alive
The least I can do, is serve YOU

So Father Lord, even as You continually extend 
 Your grace towards me
You can use me, send me, call me,

          I'm Yours.
