But anyway, I was listening to the song again this afternoon as Copelynn napped and I cut chicken in the kitchen and tears just rolled down my cheeks as the bridge played "you are holy, you are righteous, you are one of the redeemed. Set apart, a brand new heart, oh you are free indeed."
Those lyrics make me think of who I used to be; desperate for TRUE love. And looking in all the wrong places. I was in such a dark place...making sad mistakes. And then I think about how far God has brought me....that He's redeemed me. Brushed me off, given me a new heart. And here I stand, blessed beyond measure to have such an incredible husband and sweet daughter to cut chicken for. How on Earth is God so good that this would be my life after all that's happened?
This song is my favorite because it reminds me of the Cross and the Great Grace of Jesus. It makes me tear up almost every time I listen to it because those two things never get old. They never get less emotional. Because I know where I was once. And how far the Lord as brought me. I never want to forget that His mighty Love is my only saving grace. Not just 7 years ago when my life really changed...but day after day after day.
If you want to hear more about this subject, you're in luck. I'm in the process of turning my story and testimony into an Ebook. Be on the look out for it this Summer/Fall :)
Happy Thursday Friends. May we let the Lord help us live in his freedom and grace just a little bit more today.
