Crying is such a blessing from God. Last night as my boys sat on my lap in my office listening to Bon Iver I just broke down and cried. I realized that in my sin and folly I could have so easily missed out on these blessings. In my sin and folly, God could have left me to my self. In my sin and folly, God could have let me be what I wanted to be, and become what I wanted to become. It's in those moments, when the only proper thing to do-- is cry. Why God has intervened in my life I have no known reason--it has all been grace. He has literally snatched me out of the fire. I am so thankful. I am beyond thankful. Heaven is going to rock, and I have tasted a glimpse in the now and not yet. If you are reading this blog and wondering what the answer to life is....it is not family....it's not sex.....it's not money.....it's not comfort....it's not lack of suffering....it's not spirituality.....the answer to life is Jesus. He is the messiah, he loves so deep and pure, in a way this world cannot describe. He was crucified on my behalf to save me from myself. You need to know my Jesus.
Isaiah 53:6 "We all went astray like sheep; we have all turned to our own way; and the Lord has punished Him for the iniquity of us all."
My boys always want things repeated, "daddy read it again, do it again, sing it again", the gospel is something that will never tire in a world full of everything that tires.
