Sheep

We are all a bunch of stupid sheep.
I don't know if I feel like elaborating. lol

=)

I love my life.
I really do, and not because I just spent the entire day with Lauren helping at a wedding and not because we got free wire from Bi-lo, sugar cookies when you're hungry, pinning moss on bricks, and groups around the punch table, not because Keri is cool, not because the wedding was awesome.
Although that stuff is amazing.
It comes down to I have an amazing God whom I love more than anything of the face of the earth. or anywhere in this solar system we call home =D.
No matter what I face, my circumstances, it doesn't matter. I'm going to rejoice, because I'm in love with my stupendous Savior.

Amazing Grace.
How sweet the sound.
That saved a wretch like me...
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see.

Despair.

Imagine being one of Jesus's disciples.
Yesterday seeing the one you loved most on the earth die such a painful death.
The most perfect person, die the death reserved for the most despised people.
The one you believe would be your Deliverer.
Imagine the confusion. disorientation. aching. misery.
I would be in utter despair.

I don't think anyone talked. I think they just walked around with a blank look of shock and despair on their faces.
But I almost think the more despair you are in, the more hopeful news affects you...

-------------------------------------------
Psalm 69:1-3
Save me, O God!
For the waters have come up to my neck.
2 I sink in deep mire,
where there is no foothold;
I have come into deep waters,
and the flood sweeps over me.
3 I am weary with my crying out;
my throat is parched.
My eyes grow dim
with waiting for my God.

Psalm 69:20
Reproaches have broken my heart, so that I am in despair. I looked for pity, but there was none, and for comforters, but I found none.

Good Friday...
Today about 2,000 years ago someone who loved me very much, gave His life for mine. My eternal soul.
Took everything I have ever done and ever will do wrong upon Himself. He hung in agony for me. I almost can't think about it cause it makes me hurt...
To think that if I had been there, I would have been spitting on the one I love so much. I would have denied him... And to think that every time I sin it's shoving what he did in his face... But I'm encouraged that Jesus isn't surprised by my sin. He knows all the sins I have ever committed, and He anticipated all the ones I will ever do.
And He still pursued me. Still He loved me.
It will forever amaze me.
I can't think about it and not have it blow my mind.
My mind can't wrap around the fact that another person can love me enough to die for me. Much less my Creator....

John 4:19
We love because he first loved us.

Romans 5:7-9
7 For one will scarcely die for a righteous person—though perhaps for a good person one would dare even to die—8 but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us. 9 Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.

With those thoughts I can't be depressed =D

My Dad's the best =)
