I am a sinner who deserves hell for my sin. End of story. But not so fast, I am a redeemed sinner who's sin was paid in full at the cross of Christ. I don't bear the load I cannot bear, for Christ has already. Not only do I not get what I deserve, I get what I do not deserve...heaven. Praise the Lord.
So once again I get the reminder that the Gospel is good news and my hope is not in this world...here's hoping that the next time this great reminder comes I don't end up crying...although maybe it's not a completely bad price to pay.
Oh Father, use my ransomed life
In any way You choose.
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You.

Praying for you, sister. Though I am far away physically, I'm still your brother, lifting you up to our Father, who knows exactly what you need for your good and greatest joy (which, consequently often means not receiving what we want...but not always). I'll be calling soon.
