Pandora...

So, I've been struggling for a while with some spiritual and emotional things. Plus I've been really sick for about a month with a weird virus (I will spare you the details lol). Overall, I've just been discouraged and tired of the things in life. I was listening to Pandora Radio and had it tuned to my New Age Solo Piano Radio. It mixes hymn, classical, jazz, and of course new age piano songs. I was in the cafeteria at school working on homework, when a gorgeous rendition of "How Deep the Father's Love for Us" came on. I lost it. I began to weep. God was speaking to me in ways only He and His Children understand. He sent His ONLY Son to die for me, and with that one thought I was humbled. I'm not saying every thing is perfect now, but my soul feels renewed and refreshed after a good cry and talk with my Father. Thank you, Abba for all you've done.

How deep the Father’s love for us,
how vast beyond all measure
that He should give His only Son
to make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss.
The Father turns His face away.
as wounds which mar the Chosen One
bring many sons to glory.

Behold the Man upon the cross,
my sin upon His shoulders.
Ashamed, I hear my mocking voice
call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
until it was accomplished;
His dying breath has brought me life.
I know that it is finished.

I will not boast in anything:
no gifts, no pow’r, no wisdom.
But I will boast in Jesus Christ:
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer.
But this I know with all my heart:
His wounds have paid my ransom.
