He Giveth More Grace...
What a hymn. If this is the only spiritual lesson I learn this semester, I still will feel like this semester was a success. He giveth more grace as the burdens grow greater...he giveth, and giveth, and giveth again. Wow. In Philosophy class this week we discussed the theories of Locke and Rouseau, and others. Here's the sad part, I got it. I could have easily believed each one of these philosophers, meaning if I rely only on the logic of my brain, I can easily leave out God. O what a sinner. Then, one of my friends reminded me after I made the statement that I felt like a sinful after that class, that it really isn't that bad if you are reminded of your own depravity. I guess sometimes we just live in this happy little Utopia of sorts and focus only on the rules and our ability to follow them. I guess I was faced with a harsh reality this week, I'm a really good hypocrite. I can fake it and pretend so well that sometimes I feel like I'm actually living this way. I can parrot off any response to any controversial statement, and back it up with scripture, without even thinking about it, and half the time not even believing it. Wow. I'm so glad and thankful for God's grace, what would I do without it? I'll leave you with the lyrics to a song that just captures my heart today.My faithfull Father, enduring friend
your tender mercy is like a river with no wind
it overwhelms me covers my sin each time i come into your presence
I stand in wonder once again
your grace still amazes me
your love is still a mystery
each day i fall on my knees
'cause your grace still amazes me
your grace still amazes me
Oh patient savior, you make me whole
you are the author and the healer of my soul
what can i give you lord
what can i say
i know there's no way to repay you
only to offer you my praise
your grace still amazes me
your love is still a mystery
each day i fall on my knees
cause your grace still amazes me
your grace still amazes me
its deeper, its wider, its stronger,
its higher its deeper, its wider,
its stronger, its higher than anything my eyes can see
your grace still amazes me
your love is still a mystery
each day i fall on my kness
cause your grace still amazes me
