The Price Was High

"For Jews demand signs and Greeks desire wisdom, but we proclaim Christ crucified, a stumbling block [skandalon] to Jews and foolishness to Gentiles, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God." (1 Corinthians 1:22-24)

There is little more the Lord can do for me...He is God. High above. Full of beauty and mercy, full of grace, full of wonder. Adorable in every way. Lovely in every way. My God is He, the One for me. Forever is too little for Him and I. For, forever I will be, totally taken, by His amazing ways. What else can He do for me? Redeemed I am. And who could pay? The price too HIGH, and I, now ALIVE. He gave me Salvation, when I deserved nothing. Yet He keeps on giving, and I, on deserving nothing. And on and on, blessing me and blessing me, He keeps on blessing me. And I, a sinner, beaten down, not by His warning words but by His love alone, His love crushes me, I can't breathe under the weight of His love. And when His gaze falls on me, I can't hide from me or Him, I have to cry out of my own smallness, when His gaze falls upon me, I feel like a mound of ashes quickly undone by the wind. For He desorganizes me, my neatly and foolishly stacked petty life, He won't let it be...(LOL) I know that He sometimes laughs at me, laughs with me, cries with me, cries for me. My God is He, the One for me. And I, a sinner, beaten down by any, as few as those may be, little loving words of Him. I can't run, I can't breathe, I can't hide that I, a sinner and a fool, not equal to Him in any way, shape or form, with all my flaws, tottally wrong for Him, and as ridiculous as this may sound, yet I can't hide, ("who am I to?, how dare I do?") I know, though, I love Him too.
