| | retreat was pretty freaking awesome. so many many things to think about, then and since. there is what is, and what i know should be (and what is and what should never be  ). but it is really hard to keep striving. trying to keep the end goal in mind.
this song came on pandora today. its way softer than what i generally listen to, but sometimes a good worship song is needed, even when you dislike it musically, you cant help but identify with it lyrically.
Who are we
That You would be mindful of us
What do You see
That’s worth looking our way
We are free
In ways that we never should be
Sweet release
From the grip of these chains
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
All that is within me cries
For You alone be glorified
Emmanuel
God with us
My heart sings a brand new song
The debt is paid these chains are gone
Emmanuel
God with us
Lord You know
Our hearts don’t deserve Your glory
Still You show
A love we cannot afford
Like hinges straining from the weight
My heart no longer can keep from singing
Such a tiny offering compared to Calvary
Nevertheless we lay it at Your feet
-God With Us, MercyMe
why, God, do you love us? tiny offerings, insignificant. yet each and every one is worth something to the One who made us. imagine that. we do not deserve at all, His kindness or mercy or grace or love. but still, we get it. for free.
unconditional love is such a beautiful thing. receiving it from another person, when they know your absolute deepest darkest secrets, the things you were reluctant to confess to God Himself, yet they do not run away, nor revile you, but rather extend the blood of Christ over you, and God's love tangibly flows through them, that is something to be treasured, when you find it.
man, my sleep schedule is totally screwed up again, dangit...
