I guess, my relationship with God has been on the rocks and I haven't been prioritizing properly and ya, I fell into sin a little bit.
But that's stupid! So yesterday I spent like 2 hours reading my Bible, praying and singing worship songs.
This is what stuck out to me:
Jer 26:13: "Now reform your ways and your actions and obey the Lord your God. Then the Lord will relent and not bring the disaster he has pronounced against you."
Jer 29:13-14: "You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart. I will be found by you and will bring you back from captivity."
The rest are from songs:
-In Christ Alone
No guilt in life. No fear in death. No power of hell, no scheme of man can ever pluck me from His hand. Here in the power of Christ I'll stand!
-The Saving One
What mercy was revealed, my fate was surely sealed until He rescued me. His pardon for my sin, His bounty for my need, from slavery and chains I am redeemed.
No fear can hold me down, nor darkness steal my joy. Blood has been poured out, the enemy destroyed.
Jesus is the Christ, the Saving One.
-The Righteousness of Christ
How can I dare speak to You at all? I was born with unclean lips. I have tried in vain to run and hide, yet every corner You are there, from two womb You've known my secrets. Yet with a Father's love You've chased me down, embraced me as Your son, with a heart of joy You run to me.
Naked I fall with nothing at all. You alone can clothe me, so I can stand before thee. I can be pure, but only if You would clothe me in the righteousness of Christ.
-Aftermath
The hands that cradle the stars are the hands that bled for me.
My freedom found in your scars, in your grace my life redeemed. You chose to take the sinner's crown as you placed your crown on me.
In that moment of surrender you were broken for all the world to see. That was the moment you broke the chains in me. Lifted out of the ashes, I am found in the aftermath.
-Light has Come
Good tidings to the world, to the weak and the broken down. In a small, poor and dirty town light has come. A baby splits history, Emmanuel, Savior, King. Come sinner let your eyes see. Light has come.
God sent His Son, cradle, cross, to the crown. He stepped down from His throne to the world that He loves. Light has come, God with us
In His name our chains will shatter, for unto us is born. A Son, our God is with us, this Christmas morn’. Now the chains are torn asunder, all oppression is undone. To the glory of our Father, this Christmas morn’.
So, ya, I'm pretty glad that God has apportioned so much grace to us, but for sure I can't keep living like this. haha. I can't earn my own righteousness, but God himself would come down to Earth and take the punishment for us, so that we could stand before Him one day, and more importantly that we could come to know Him personally and live with Him even now. And that's what Christmas is about, God coming down to us because of His love for us..
Merry Christmas!
