Smooth != Stable

So yesterday was an interesting day. I took two tests that made me feel like a failure, but that was pale in comparison of what happened in chapel. They showed clips from Passion of the Christ in between each worship song..and it was intense.Realizing that Christ died on a cross for me...that He went through excruciating pain and still asked God to forgive the very ones who were beating him and killing him and clamoring for his death...it changes my perspective a bit. Suddenly everything is pale, and He is most important. Worship is different, the word holy is different, singing songs about His love for me is heartbreaking, and the idea of redemption is sheer joy. And inside of that knowledge, that understanding, that moment, I become completely healed. The hurt feelings about the break-up no longer matter, the broken promises become forgiven, the love of God completely prevails and is able to heal in a moment. So I was healed, and I was made whole, because He is so very great that His forgiveness, His blood covers all.

"He is jealous for me..."

That's awesome. And my Lord, my Christ, our Christ, died for us so we could know Him. So let's know Him. Let's get to know the One who knows us better than we know ourselves.
