Lord God, I fall to my knees thanking you, honoring you as King of my heart. You searched for me and rejoiced when I was found. I don't deserve this love. I humbly bow before you. Where would I have been on that day you were crucified? Would I have been the one yelling, "Barabbas! Free Barabbas!"? Or would I have been the one with unbelief in my heart saying, "This isn't the Messiah."? Would I have been one of many in the crowd who screamed, "Crucify him!" Would I have been the women crying to see their Lord crucified? Would I have been the criminal on the cross who scoffed at you not believing you were the Christ? Or would I have been the criminal who humbly surrendered his life to You? The truth is Lord, I am no better than any of them. I don't deserve this unconditional love and mercy you give me daily. So I lift my hands to heaven in complete adoration. I pray for those who haven't experienced this unexplainable peace that has filled my heart since the age of 12. When I gave my life to you, I didn't know how much You would affect my life. You have provided me hope and peace and LIFE everlasting. I think of these verses with head bowed low. I can't wait for the day I can stand with the masses singing songs of praise to you. Amen.
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God.
Oh, it chases me down, fights 'til I'm found, leaves the ninety-nine
I couldn't earn it, and I don't deserve it, still, You give Yourself away
Oh, the overwhelming, never-ending, reckless love of God.
Reckless Love, Cory Asbury
“If a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won’t he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost? And if he finds it, I tell you the truth, he will rejoice over it more than over the ninety-nine that didn’t wander away! In the same way, it is not my heavenly Father’s will that even one of these little ones should perish." ~Matthew 18:12-14
