What if we put down our signs crossed over the lines and loved like You did"
Just a line from one of my favorite Casting Crowns songs. It's called Jesus, friend of sinners. If you haven't heard it yet, check it out because it's pretty awesome. I love this line in particular because it really makes me do a double take when it comes to Christianity. So often we tell people what's wrong or what not to do, and we forget to make it a point to show them what we're standing for. What if we did put all our differences aside and just learn to love like Jesus did? Wouldn't we be much better witnesses for Christ? Wouldn't our enemies have a much harder time persecuting someone who showers them with love?
Another good line from the song is "help us all remember we are all the least of thieves". I'm no better than the next person. God doesn't measure sin by the what sin you've committed rather, that you've committed sin. In His eyes, we are all the same - sinners. Except that He sent His son to take our place so that one day we can live in righteousness. Yea, how great is my God?
Another good suggestion from the "Come to the well" album is So Far to Find You. Maybe I'm a hopeless romantic who enjoys a good love story, but this song is fantastic. Just in case you didn't know, this life has a happy ending/love story too. It starts in Matthew....
