today i went with a dear friend to a live simulcast of beth moore's living proof {more on this in a later post}. i wanted to take a minute to share a couple of songs that touched me during worship. i'll just share portions of the lyrics. i pray that these lyrics are a reminder of God's endless love for you, yes YOU! the first set is a picture of how God loves us, of how God knows us. he knows our every tear. he knows our every hurt, disappointment, frustration behind those tears.
he knows my name...he knows my every thought...he sees every tear that falls...and he hears me when i call
the second set of lyrics reminds me of how i come before God. i am certain that you can relate.
i come broken to be mended...i come wounded to be healed...i come desperate to be rescued...i come empty to be filled...i come guilty to be pardoned...by the blood of christ the lamb...and i'm welcomed with open arms...just as i am
do you hear that last part? and i'm welcomed with open arms. let that resound in your heart. may you know that today. know that your heavenly father welcomes you with open arms even if you are broken, even if you are wounded, even if you are desperate, even if you are empty, even if you are guilty. he has welcomed you into his arms.
