How Great the Father's Love for Us

So I've been completely terrible about adding posts to my blog. It seems that ever since Spring Break (and perhaps even before), I've been so busy! This weekend was no different, but I felt the need to post for today.

Tonight at church was something wonderful. I know the Spirit is there each time we meet (and in between), but you know how sometimes you are more attuned to his overwhelming power? Tonight was like that. I listened as my pastor talked about the maturing believer. I listened as he reminded us that so few of us really take our sin for what it is, and what punishment it requires...death. It is in this realization that the beauty and awesomeness of the Lord is most evident. How gracious and merciful is he to save a "wretch like me"? It's not just words to a song, it's the reality of my life. The life I was given because of Christ.
