Pleased and Satisfied.

I have to say, I think I've become a sucker for lyrics now. Usually for me, it's all about intense melodies, especially how the electric guitar tears up a track, but lyrics have grown on me. I was listening to a song and the bridge goes likes this

But the harder I try the more clearly can I feel

The depth of our fall and the weight of it all

And so this might could be the most impossible thing

Your grandness in me making me clean.

When I look back into my past life, I felt like a hamster and his wheel. Staying completely in one position, never getting anywhere. Trust me, I've tried hard. Trying to pay off my debt of life by trying to please God not only made me feel worst about my debt, but literally at times I felt I was doomed. The bridge of this song sums up my life. The most impossible thing, making me clean was finally attainable. not by my works but His. He lives in me. And when God sees me he sees a completely debt, sin, problem free Jesus. 

Galatians 2:20

²⁰ I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.

Hebrews 10:17

 ¹⁷ Then he adds:
   “Their sins and lawless acts 
   I will remember no more.”

Now, I'd rather live by faith instead of trying to live a life of faithfulness. Because a life of faithfulness is me. I fail. But to live by faith, He does it all. He leads me.

I have a God that is completely pleased and satisfied with me. Why? Cause He did it all and thank God it's not based on my merit then surely I am doomed.

Believe.

It's interesting to me how i'm more thankful after thanksgiving. It's almost Christmas time but I have this inclination to be thankful rather than to give. I got to experience a person's prayer getting answered where I played a part in. We live in a world that destroys hope, but the hope in Christ truly perseveres. Just thoughts in my head that I wanted to jot down.

Where there is pain
Let us bring grace
Where there is suffering
Bring serenity
For those afraid
Let us be brave
Where there is misery
Let us bring them relief
And surely we can change
Surely we can change
Oh surely we can change
Something
