Because of Your Love

"Because of Your cross my debt is paid

Because of Your blood my sins are washed away

Now all of my life, I freely give

Because of Your love, Because of Your love I live"

~Phil Wickham

I just finished reading the third chapter of Crazy Love and watching the video that goes along with the study and I was completely broken at the realization and thought of God's love. One of my favorite verses has always been Romans 5:8 "but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." That verse blows my mind. God loves us so much we cannot even begin to understand it. This is something I don't think about often enough, so I just wanted to take the time to remind all of us that God loves us. Remember the cross and that Christ died for us while we were still sinners.

Jesus said in Luke 9:23 that "If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me." And my prayer is that when we pick up our cross daily we remember the love of Christ. We remember the blood poured out for us. For our sins. It's powerful and it is the good news. Christ died for us and rose again so that we could live with him forever. I don't get it. It's crazy. But I love God for it.

"Maker of the universe

Broken for the sins of the earth

All because of Your love

All because of Your love"

~Phil Wickham

Take some time to just meditate on God's love and all that it means.

P.S. The new Phil Wickham album is super good. You can pre-order it from his website and get the album a month early and it's totally worth it.
