I have heard Paul Cardall speak, I have heard him sing. He is pretty amazing. What I really love about him though, is the things he has overcome. How he keeps on being positive in spite of the trials he faces. How he relies on his Heavenly Father to get him through it. I am trying to be more like that.
I try and listen. I search. I pray. But I have a very hard time believing that everything is going to be OK. I suppose it is a trust issue on my part. I hate having bad things happen, and there is this part of me that believes they are going to keep happening, over and over again. There is a part of me that believes I deserve the bad things and not the good. There is a part that feels like I am being punished.
I think there are times when we all feel that way. When the prospect of grace is just too overwhelming to even begin to comprehend. When our sins haunt our hearts and disturb our rest. When perfection is something we should be obtaining. Sometimes, it is as simple as what my mind thinks it knows and what my heart believes.
Today, I am trying to convince myself that everything is going to work out alright. Maybe, just maybe, I will do it.
AMAZING GRACE
Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now I'm found.
Was blind but now I see.
'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
When we've been there ten thousand years
Bright shining as the sun
We've no less days to sing God's praise
Then when we first begun.
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost, but now I'm found.
Was blind, but now I see
