For God so loved the world
that he gave his only begotten Son
that whosoever believeth in him
should not perish but have
everlasting life.
John 3:16

Last night as I knelt down at my bed to pray
I was overwhelmed with all God had given me that day.

I began to look back at the yesterdays I'd been given
And I had to marvel at why I had been forgiven.

I have done so many things too shameful to recall
And yet Jesus died to make atonement for them all!

I know I'm so unworthy, so much I've left undone
But to think I've been forgiven by God's only begotton Son!

When I look into the mirror it takes away my breath
Because I am a sinner and responsible for His death.

For wasn't it my sins too that nailed Him to the cross?
So why did Jesus die for me knowing I am nothing but a loss?

How could He love this wretch I am this wretch I'll always be?
Why would Jesus give His life for a sinner such as me?

God spoke to my heart in a voice tender and mild
"All this I have done for you because you are my dear child.
Your sins have been forgiven for my son Jesus took your place."
On Calvary this was done for me by the Father's grace.

Though I don't deserve it never have and never will
I know I have been forgiven because the cross upon the hill.

Has the Lord spoke to you today my friend?
Sometimes we get so busy in our day that
we can't hear Him when He calls our name.
Have you taken a minute from your day and
just thanked Him for all the wonderful things
surrounding you and your loved ones?
He carried the cross for you and I to that hill.
 His blood shed there washed away our sins
to make us clean in Gods eyes.
