Do I love you deep enough?
This is the starting line of one of the True Worshippers' Song...or the starting question...And the bridge goes on to reveal how much God is too him...And then the chorus is a prayer to "love (God) more" and for "each and every breath" to be one that carries a longing for Him...
And this is the question I always return to. Do I believe that the God of heaven and earth truly love me? Do I dare believe...what audacity...to believe that to prove this love, He bore a Cross across Calvary to save me? Because, if I truly believe that, how can I not be changed? How can any part of my soul not "bless His holy name"? How can any part of me remain silent at such a sacrifice...
Unless I haven't really known the depths of Jesus Christ...the depths of grace and forgiveness found...
Maybe that's why I am constantly amazed at the Cross... Because I haven't amazed at it enough! And yet, how can I ever be amazed enough... Never, not for all eternity, or eternities to come!
And yet the God who bore those nails in His hands and feet calls us each and every moment in life to wonder at His sacrifice, and to be lost deeper and deeper in that glorious work! It is this pursuit that should become our lifelong pursuit, our lifelong hunger. Because it is this love, which is God loving us first, and the continual abiding in it that changes our lives from the inside out.
Oh God! Oh God! I can't understand this love enough, or be lost, or amazed in it enough...but God, I truly want to experience it and enjoy it and savour it more and more and more...God, this is who you are. You are Love. And we cannot and should not ever go beyond the Cross...or Grace.
Friend, stand strong- in the Grace of God...it is not an idea, or a theological viewpoint, or a feeling... it is the Person of Jesus Christ!
