Children of the light

So lately i been listenin to alot of music and one song that got me was Children of the light by Lecrea. The reason i bring this up is because the song starts, "We are children of the light, Royal rulers of the day. Saints, no prisoners of the night, Trust and love will lead the way. We are free." That hits a note with me because for me, being free means I don't have to worry about my sin. I am free from my sin because of a man who walked this earth 2000 years ago. He was the perfict lamb, The son of God. That is something I have a hard time understanding. Why would somebody send there son, not only there son but there ONLY SON, to die for a sinner, to save the world. He took the sin of not only me, but of everybody. EVERYBODY, so that we may live to see heaven. That would kill me if I was God. To send my son to die for people who would turn there back on me. I sometimes have a hard time remembering the fact that God did that, and there are times that I need to be reminded that he has forgiven me. So tonight, with the last day of christmas break coming up, I needed to be reminded how much God loves me. I pulled my Ipod and asked, How much does he love a sinner like me, and my Ipod replyed with the song East to West by Casting Crowns, and that was the answer I needed. "Jesus you know just how far the east is from the west, cuz I can't stand to see the man I've been come rising up in me again. In the arms of your mercy I find rest, cuz you know just how far the east is from the west. One scared hand to the other." That is the love that God has for us, I know it is hard to comprehend, but looking at it now. It is clear, He loves every last person in the world, and wants a relationship with everyone. "I'm not holding on to you, but your holding on to me." that is how we are with him, He will never let you fall, He will always catch you. All you have to do is have faith,
