The Debt of Love

This morning I was taking my daily walk at the park (trying to exercise and get in better shape ), I was feeling kind of low and sorry for myself. I was wondering if the Lord heard my prayers ( not that I pray that often ) and I was thinking that I felt so far from the Lord and his Love for me. But then the Lord through several songs showed me how much he Loves me.
I was listening to the song My Tribute by Andre Crouch, it says With His blood He has saved me. With His power He has raised me. To God be the glory for the things He has done. Those are such powerful words and through them God showed me a vision of Jesus hanging on the cross with the nails in His hands and feet and the blood from His wounds covering us and cleansing us and making us white as snow and in my vision I saw a field of snow so white and untouched, that is what Jesus sacrifice did for us. Then the rest of the song says, How can I say thanks for the things You have done for me. Things so undeserved, yet You gave to prove Your love for me. The voices of a million angels could not express my gratitude. All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe it all to Thee. To God be the glory for the things He has done.
All through the rest of my walk the other songs that played reinforced God's Love for us. He Touched Me, Wow what powerful words, Shackled by a heavy burden, 'Neath a load of guilt and shame. Then the hand of Jesus touched me . And now I am no longer the same. He touched me. O He touched me. And O, the joy that floods my soul.
There are so many wonderful hymns that speak of God's Love and Grace and His sacrifice of His Son Jesus for the redemption of our sins. At the Cross, Amazing Grace, Blessed Assurance, Rock Of Ages, O the Blood of Jesus, How Great Thou Art, Great is Thy Faithfulness and One of my favorites The Old Rugged Cross.( listen to the words).
On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross.
The emblem of suffering and shame.
And I love that old cross where the dearest and best.
For a world of lost sinners was slain.
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross.
'Til my trophies at last I lay down.
I will cling to the old rugged cross.
And exchange it some day for a crown.
O that old rugged cross, so despised by the world.
Has a wondrous attraction for me.
For the dear Lamb of God left His glory above ,To bear it to dark Calvary.
In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine.
A wondrous beauty I see
For 'twas on that old cross, Jesus suffered and died.
To pardon and sanctify me.
Think about that sacrifice, could you do the same thing, God did for us? Could you give up your son to save someone else? To God be the glory for the things He has done.
Jesus I love you and help me to show it to you more often. Thank you for the Love you have shown to us.
