How can it be
As I've grown in my understanding of the Gospel, I've come to see how ridiculous it is that someone as powerful, prominent, and flawless as the Savior has any interest in me. Besides being inconsequential in human history, I am unkind, ungrateful, and not that good at doing what I am supposed to do.
This is not exclusive to me, ALL of us humans fit into this same category!
So it fills you with awe that someone made it their life's mission to cover for my mistakes. That someone sacrificed their life for me no matter how ungrateful I am (or even if I will ever acknowledge it at all). That someone loves me wearing my three-day old sweats, unshowered, lazy, grouchy, mean and rude--whatever it may be!-- that someone loves me even then, and thinks I have infinite value.
It is mind-blowing!
"If ye have known of his goodness and have tasted of his love, and have received a remission of your sins, which causeth such exceedingly great joy in your souls, even so I would that ye should remember, and always retain in remembrance, the greatness of God, and your own nothingness, and his goodness and long-suffering towards you, unworthy creatures, and humble yourselves even in the depths of humility." Mosiah 4:11
I'm really grateful that there are lots of people out there, of all denominations, who feel the same way about Jesus Christ that I do. I've grown to love listening to modern Christian music and many times I am brought to tears in the car, listening to other believers express these same thoughts.
Who am I that the King of the world would give one single thought about my broken heart?
You gave your life, to give me mine
You say that I am free. How can it be? How can it be?
How blessed we are to live in a world where that really is true!! Someone really did set us free from our mistakes, and the King of the World cares deeply and intimately about how I am feeling! And how grateful I am for all the people in the world there are that have realized this gift and that we can all unite and worship our loving Savior and friend. We are truly blessed.
