"Where is another God like you, who pardons the guilt of the remnant, overlooking the sins of His special people? You will not stay angry with Your people forever,because You delight in showing unfailing love. Once again You will have compassion on us. You will trample our sins under Your feet and throw them into the depths of the ocean!" ~ Micah 7:18-19

I saw this verse on another friends post! I love being reminded of God's grace and mercy, how He throws our sins into the depths of the ocean.  My sin that held Him to the cross, the sins He knew I would commit even before I was born.  He still went to the cross and He still died for me, and He doesn't hold it against me.  Then I think of all the times I have held others sins against them.  Instead of giving them grace and forgiveness like the Lord gave me! Lord, Help me to see other's as YOU see them! To love with your Holy Spirit! Thankyou for your amazing grace!

I'm Amazed!

I’m Amazed!
No one knew how alone I was feeling
And the emptiness I tried so hard to hide
Though I laughed and said my life was fine without You.

I was covering up the secret tears I cried
Then one day someone told me of Your mercy
And the love You showed on a hill called Calvary
There you died and purchased my redemption
When you broke sin’s power and set my spirit free

I’m amazed that You love me
I’m amazed how You care
Through Your precious blood
I’ve found pardon
And my sins are washed,
They’re all washed away
All my sins are washed away

It’s true there have been days when I’ve failed You
Lord, You know the many times I’ve gone astray
But I’ve learned that Your love is stronger than my weakness
And you ear is open every time I pray
No one else has ever cared for me like You, Lord
Other friends could never be as close to me
I’m not afraid to face the problems of tomorrow
Knowing You are everything I’ll ever need

I’m amazed that You love me
I’m amazed how You care
Through Your precious blood
I’ve fond pardon
And my sins are washed,
They’re all washed away
All my sins are washed away

I love this song and every time I hear it or sing it I can't help but have tears streaming down my face! I am truly amazed that He loves me, that He died for me even when He knew that I would turn away from Him!

About 7 years ago I did turn away from Him for a short time.  My life was all about me and what I wanted.  I excused the sin in my life, and was even mad at the circumstances God brought into my life.  Though I never outwardly blamed Him for my circumstances, my heart became hardened and this caused me to drift away from Him, and cling to other things, and in turn make bad decisions! Though I had left my first love, HE never left me! So that is why I stand Amazed that He still loves me.  That through His precious blood I have found pardon, and all my sins are washed away!!!!

I serve an amazing God and even though I still fail Him each day I know I can come to Him and He will forgive me and still loves me even though He knows all the awful things about me! Can we say that about anyone else in our life??  He is the only One that will never leave us or forsake us!

What about YOU?? What has God brought you through? I would love to hear about it!
