Grace and Love
In my pursuits of becoming an adult and a better person..i've made many, numerous mistakes. But no matter what mistakes i make or how bad they are, there's always one thing i can depend on...and that's Christ's forgiveness. I know through my faith in Him and His grace and love i'm forgiven and saved. Well, again, any of you who have followed my posts know that I like to relate my life to songs, well, i'm gonna do it again. This song is without a doubt one of my most very favoritest. (Improper english used for affect :>) A few years ago a good friend of mine introduced me to a band called Kutless and I instantly fell in love with their music. I was even lucky enough to go to one of their concerts and it was the coolest ever. I got my picture taken with the bass guitarist and with my good friend who introduced me to the bands music, and I got his autograph on a water bottle that he used to throw water on the crowd then throwing the bottle to the crowd which I caught. It was great. But one of Kutless' (Linked to their website)hits off of their 1st CD is called "Grace and Love." The lyrics are as follows:
Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
I don't understand why I do what I do
How could I take my eyes off you
After all You've done for me
And after all You've done for me
It's by Your grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me
And by that love and grace I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free, I am free, I am free
And it's by grace and love that I am free
I'll live with You eternally
I thank you Lord that I am free
I thank You Lord for loving me
I thank You Lord for dying upon the tree of Calvary
I thank You Lord for loving me
I thank You Lord for dying for me
Because it's by grace and love I am saved
It's by Your grace and love You've forgiven me
And by that love and grace, I'm amazed
It's by Your grace and love I am free
I am free, I am free, I am free
Many things in life are hard for me
Many things can pull us down
But by grace and love You've forgiven me
And by grace and love we are free

Well, I just about think the lyrics speak for themselves. But especially now with me making some of the biggest mistakes of my life, the lyrics are particularly applicable. There's no other feeling like being at what feels like might be your lowest point and being able to hear these lyrics. This song has helped me through alot, is helping me right now, and i know will help me in the future.
In Christ,
Adam

It is hard to remember at all times to put our faith in God and not in wordly things that bog us down and turn us away from the one thing that stays constant in our lives. The mistakes humans make may be one of those things that bog us down...but no matter how hard they are, or how bad our lives seem becuase of them, always remember to turn your thoughts to God in heaven. His forgiveness and love are more amazing than anything we could ever imagine.
Thinking about how Christ forgives us makes me wonder why I am so slow to fogive in some cases and so quick to forgive in others. When I think of all the things Christ has forgiven me for it makes me sick inside to think of how selfish I am in not giving forgiveness, or giving it on my terms instead of Gods. I think as much as we know that God forgives us, we need to know that we need to forgive others in that same unselfish fashion that Christ forgives us...even if it is hard to do. I think that is what we need to remember through this song..not only how Christ forgives us, but how we are to forgive others in return...showing unselfish love...no matter how much it hurts.

Great song! I love you so much! Don't ever let anything get you down, you are a great person and will do great things someday. You just have to put your trust in God, and in turn believe that YOU CAN achieve anything through him. Until we meet again!
