Our Fathers Love.

 How Deep Our Fathers Love For Us.

"How deep the Father's love for us
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure
How great the pain of searing loss
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the Chosen One
Bring many sons to glory
Behold the man upon a cross
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice
Call out among the scoffers
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished
I will nost boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection
Why should I gain from His reward
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom"

This song just reminds me about how serious our salvation is and how we need to not take it so lightly.
 The last few weeks I have just wanted to escape into the mountains with my friends and the Lord and rediscover His goodness, We get so distracted be the things of this world and our eyes and hearts get pulled away from Him so suddenly it seems, but in reality it takes time and we gradually drift away. But I love how we can return so suddenly if we are willing.
I have just been missing the old days when things were simple and out biggest worry was if our clothes matched or if we were going to get caught passing notes, we didn't have to worry about the issues of life, like money, what choices we make and how they will effect our life in 5, 10 or 15 years from now.
Simplicity and gratefulness are two things I hope and pray I will never loose!
