GOLD!!!!!

Britt Nicole is known for her fun, pop-ish songs that talk about God. This song reminds me of 'Who Says' or 'Firework'. I suppose that's it is like that.

What I'm trying to say is that, well.... Okay, let's start with the basics. Think about gold. It's beautiful, and shiny. Everything about it seems great. People in the 'old times' went nuts for it. Its always been valuable.

But think about it, does God really say we are 'worth more than gold?'

"For you formed my inward parts," David says of God. "You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise you, for I'm a fearfully and wonderfully made."
Think about the beginning of time. God created two people, man and woman. He loved them and lived with them. He even took walks with Adam.
Then, it all fell apart.
We sinned against God. He gave us the Garden of Eden and made us his own. The most power being that even was gave us all we could ever need, and we spat in his face.
Yet, God never left us. Even though he took away the Garden of Eden, he never, ever, ever left us. He was always there, being faithful and loving, even though we never were.
And he also had a plan.
He still his Son, Jesus Christ, to our dirty, sinful, disgusting world, not to mention he willingly went. Then, the very people that he died for, killed him on a cross.
All because of us.
But the story does not end there! Three days later, he rose again. He defeated sin! He crushed Satan! He prevailed over evil!
Now all you need to do is: Confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord. Believe in your heart that God raised him from the death and you will be saved.
 He could have left us for dead, but he didn't. Why? Okay, not because we were 'worth it', but  because he is loving and faithful. Because he loved us... for some reason! We were orphans and he adopted us.
And now, because of Christ, we are worth more than gold!

In Christ

Dear My Faithful Blog Readers,

As you may have noticed, in my last post, I signed off by saying 'in Christ'. That's what I'm going to start doing from now on. You know why? Because Christ has done so much for me! He saved me! He rescued me! Now I can live! (For all you Mandisa fans.) Jesus died for me. He bled for me. He actually loves someone like me. He is the reason I have this blog and the reason I am living today. I am 'in Christ!'
Speaking of Mandisa...

In Christ,
Sarah

P.S. As you also may have noticed, my last few posts  had some mistakes. Sorry about that! I am very intermediate. (as my dad would say.) I am still learning! So bear with me. Thank you so much for reading my blog and inspiring  me!

Forgiveness, by tobyMac, feat. Lecrae

This is a great duet! You know it's funny how everyone of us wastes our time being mad at somebody who hurt us. We're sinning that whole time. But Jesus will forgive us for anything and all we have to do is ask for it! What a powerful God we have!

It's amazing how God can forgive every single sin anyone has committed. And how does he do that? Because Jesus died on the cross and set us free from all our anger, hurt, and sin.

Now, if you something really bad in your lifetime, and you don't think God'll ever forgive you, I want you to know that he will! I have proof:
"Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do."
Jesus said this while he was suffering on the cross. He was talking about the people that crucified him. If He can forgive those people, I think he can forgive you.... no matter who you are.
