This song has been on the radio a lot for the past couple of weeks. It always seems to hit me at the most inconvenient times. Driving home from work, driving to or from Wendsday night church. After a disagreement with a family member, or after being faced with rejection.
It always seems to come on at those moments when all I want to do is feel sorry for myself.
When I am wrapped tightly in my own chains of self-pity and self-centeredness.Then this first verse comes on and I think about the little boy, the broken wife, the dying prisoner. And I think to myself; "What have I done? What am I doing?"
Not only has Jesus given me complete and honest love. He has given it to me even when I do not deserve it. He still shows me how unconditional the love a perfect God is when He blesses me, even when I am acting like a ungrateful child. This love is what binds us, we can no longer be consumed with ourselves when Someone loves us like this. We can't keep it in and we can't hide it. The only response we can have to this sort of love, is to
share it.
