Jesus once again addressed them: "I am the world's Light. No one who follows me stumbles around in the darkness. I provide plenty of light to live in."

"What if you're right? And he was just another nice guy. What if you're right? What if it's true?They say the cross will only make a fool of you. And what if it's true?

What if he takes his place in history with all the prophets and the kings, who taught us love and came in but then the story ends? What then?


But what if you're wrong? What if there's more? What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for? What if you jump? And just close your eyes? What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise? What if He's more than enough? What if it's love?


What if you dig way down deeper than your simple-minded friends? What if you dig? What if you find a thousand more unanswered questions down inside? That's all you find?


What if you pick apart the logic and begin to poke the holes? What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore that must be told and retold?


You've been running as fast as you can. You've been looking for a place you can land for so long. But what if you're wrong?"~Nordeman

I heard this song on the radio tonight as I was going to the grocery store. It really hit home because I have friends and family who do not believe in God. Also, I have wavering faith sometimes and do things I shouldn't and don't do things I should. I have asked myself the following question when I doubt my beliefs, but my answer has been in the Scriptures for thousands of years for people like myself with the same doubt.

How in the world could God care about me with all the people in the world to care about?

"Though wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee." Isaiah 43:4. "Yea, I have loved thee with an everlasting love." Jeremiah 31:3 "But God commendeth His love toward us, in that while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." Romans 5:8

I don't understand the never-ending love He has for me because He loves me as though I am the only lost soul on the earth. Jesus would have still died on the cross, even if it was for only me. Even though I sin, He still loves me, and there is nothing I can do to deserve it. It is only by grace that I am saved. He also still loves not only thieves, adulterers and murderes, but He loves the selfish, hyprocritical, and profane blasphemer. He knows my sins will lead to misery and eventually death. That is why he died for me. To save me.

This video reminded me of what Jesus Christ has done for me and for all of us. I may have wavering faith, but there are people out in the world that do not believe at all. And they look at me and determine the validity of my beliefs by looking and judging my actions.

I want people to look at my life and see that I am growing in my faith and in my walk with Christ. And it is not out of tradition, custom or a common fear of hell that I choose this life. I am falling in love with Jesus.
