Reflections & Song

August is almost over and I wanted to reflect on what Jesus was speaking to me this month.  I have really been thinking about God's Amazing Grace. This beautiful gift that was given to me that I in NO WAY deserve.  

Grace is that gift that God freely gives us. I am so grateful for this gift. I can't believe He gives us this amazing gift even though we don’t deserve it because we are all wretched sinners. It is by grace that we are saved from certain death – which is the penalty for our sinfulness. We have all sinned and none of us are good enough to merit eternal life with a holy God in a sinless Heaven. (Eph 2:8-9; Rom 3:23; Rom 6:23) Grace allows us forgiveness of all of our sins and promises eternal life. I am so thankful that “I’m loved and forgiven, back with the living, I’m just a sinner saved by grace!”

Here is a song that has been on repeat this month.  When you look at the words of this song this part about being "adopted by perfection, You rejected  my rejection. Made Whole by resurrection...I'm yours."  That is my favorite part of the song.  It just speaks to my heart.

ARRESTED BY GRACE // lyrics
(by Garrett & Elaina Chynoweth, w/ Nico Perez)

Stuck in the mire of a standard too high
Best efforts have left me weary and dry
From trying to trusting, the weight is released
The cross I am bearing You carried for me

Caught in the crossfire, confusion and doubt
Entrenched in this trial, too weak to dig out
Redemption came running, with righteous decree
"I finished the work, Child, so fall into Me... fall into Me"
----------------
You call me Worthy, shame flooded by Mercy's sea
Forever forgiven, a new Life has risen in me
Righteous and Holy, sin always and fully erased
Beloved, Accepted, my fall was arrested by Grace
----------------
From trying to trusting, this weight is released
The cross I am bearing You carried for me
Redemption came running, with righteous decree
"I finished the work, Child, so fall into Me... fall into me"

Adopted by Perfection
You rejected my rejection
Made whole by resurrection...I'm Yours

You did what I wasn't able
Your child, here at Your table
My heart is truly grateful... I'm Yours

I hope this song blesses your heart and speaks to you just as it has been me.  If you don't follow worship mob on you tube.  DO IT NOW.  You can find them here.
