Ian spoke today about the barrier that stands between us and God and the chasm in between that prevents us from connecting with Him. Imagine a life that's ok, but every time one of those obstacles comes along it causes us to crash in a major way. I know, because I did it many times way back. Now imagine a life where those obstacles still come along, but we don't crash in a major way. Yes, it's still hard and it still hurts, but there's something different.
The day I was baptised and asked God into my life He sent me a ladder to cross the chasm, that ladder was His son who died for my sins and made me whole again. I'm still climbing and will be for a long time, but I strive to continue this 'work in progress' because the other life was one with a great big chasm in it.
Everyone needs compassion
A love that’s never failing
Let mercy fall on me
Everyone needs forgiveness
A kindness of a Saviour
The hope of nations
Saviour
He can move the mountains
My God is Mighty to save
He is Mighty to save
Forever
Author of salvation
He rose and conquered the grave
Jesus conquered the grave
So take me as You find me
All my fears and failures
Fill my life again
I give my life to follow
Everything I believe in
Now I surrender all.
Thanks Ian, Bless you for today's word.
