It's been since October since I touched this thing. I love to write. So I began to wonder, why was I not as excited as everyone else about writing in my blog? It dawned on me that, although I love to talk about my friends and family, that my blog wasn't serving a purpose. What better purpose than God's purpose!
Honestly, I don't know what I want to write about yet. I am hoping each week I find something inspiring to say and that God gives me the right song and the right words to talk about it. One thing I do know, each week I will pick a different christian/gospel song to write about from how it makes me feel to the message I got from it.
Week One "Jesus Saves" by Jeremy Camp
We don't call Him our Savior for nothing!
I decided this would be the most appropriate song to talk about first because I believe you can't be saved until you realize that He does save. You must believe you are forgiven and that others can be forgiven too. It can be hard to understand how even the evilest people can be forgiven by God. Although I finally believe this, it's still hard to follow through with it in my daily life but JESUS SAVES. He forgives me for falling short. And he forgives you too. For some people it can feel as if they aren't worthy but God loves you and He knows you are. Because I understand that God saves, I must learn to forgive people as well. It is not up to us to "give people what they deserve."
Verses I enjoy on this topic:
'Do not say, "I will repay evil"; Wait for the Lord, and He will save you.' Proverbs 20:22
"Again, when a wicked person turns away from the wickedness he has committed and does what it just and right, he shall save his life." Ezekiel 18:27
"And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved." Acts 4:12

It's easy for us to pick out the ones that we feel aren't worthy of Christ's forgiveness, but in reality, none of us are worthy. If we don't show others the love that He has shown us, they won't ever learn of the love and forgiveness He offers. We have a pretty big responsibility! I'm so glad you wrote this!
