I started early today. I worked through the night and found my bed in the AM instead of the PM. So I welcome my cup of Door County Black Velvet Coffee and a slice of melon for breakfast.
I was considering just how much God loves me yesterday and in doing so I was humbled beyond belief. The thought of Jesus leaving heaven to come to Earth and then suffering and dying on a cross for me, brought tears to my eyes. As I summed up my life, I just could not see me being worth all that suffering and pain. My thoughts reminded me of a song that I loved to hear sung by the late Elvis Presley.
"Who Am I"
"Who Am I"
When I think of how He came so far from glory
Came to dwell among the lowly such as I
To suffer shame and such disgrace
On Mount Calvary take my place
Then I ask myself this question
Who am I?
Who am I that the King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thy Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
But to that old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
When I'm reminded of His words
I'll leave Him never
If you'll be true I'll give to you life forever
Oh I wonder what I could have done
To deserve God's only Son
To fight my battles until they're won
For who am I?
Who am I that The King would bleed and die for
Who am I that He would pray not my will, Thy Lord
The answer I may never know
Why He ever loved me so
But to that old rugged cross He'd go
For who am I?
But to an old rugged cross He'd go for, who am I?
Now evidently Jesus never counted the cost of His suffering. He died willingly that we might live with Him for eternity. I guess I will never understand the depth of His love. But I am sure glad He loves me. He loves you too. Now there is a "warm fuzzy" for this Sunday.
God Bless,
Marty
