I love this song. I sometimes struggle with feeling worthy of all that God has done for me. I like how this song gets to the heart of the matter…believing that I am worth dying for. It’s so humbling to know that Jesus loves me enough to feel that I am worth dying for, and we’re not talking about just any death…we’re talking about the death of the cross. Jesus was mocked, spat upon, BEATEN BEYOND RECOGNITION, and crucified!! In the midst of it all Jesus gave the world the best examples of forgiveness and love this world will ever see. While hanging on the cross, in the midst of it all (all the pain and betrayal), Jesus prayed to God the Father and said “Forgive them”. Jesus knowing the love that he has for us all, willingly went through the death of the cross for our sakes. So that we can be reconnected to an Almighty God that loves us, and not have to have our sin stand in the way of our relationship with a loving God. It can be so easy to think that the love and grace of God can’t reach us because of the things that have happened in our lives, but the TRUTH is…no one is beyond the reach of the love and grace of God!! All you have to do is except it…except God into your heart, and all your past is covered by his love and grace, and your future will be secure in him. We are not just some wondering soul. We are his creation, made in his image, made for a purpose, and created out of love. It’s in the love of God that Jesus says you are worth dying for, and he proved it by willingly going to the cross.
