".... Than to live without me."
These were lyrics that I heard today, while drawing in a sketchbook I bought today. The song was playing faintly in the background, but this line stood out to me. It started to sink in, and I was no longer trying to sing along to a song I've never heard before, but actually letting it mean something to me.
It's so... intense, and true. Jesus died for us, so we could spend eternity with him in heaven. It's just so amazing. I don't mean anything negative, I'm simply trying to explain how I feel. Everyday people say things like, "Man, I'd die for a glass of water right now!", or, "I would die if I couldn't have my phone with me!"
But they wouldn't. It's a figure of speech and I never gave much thought about it until today. Do we say stuff like that too lightly?
Yes, I believe Jesus died for me, but sometimes I just think of God as a being, not as a person. I don't forget Jesus, but perhaps I don't acknowledge him as much as I should. Does this make any sense? Jesus was a baby, but besides his birth and crucifixion, I never really think of him as a toddler, teenager, etc. He was a living, breathing person! He had feelings, he lived as a carpenter, he he had a mother, all kinds of things!
All I can say is wow, and thank you God!
