The thing that I am most thankful and grateful for would be the love and grace of Jesus Christ. His salvation is everything I need. God sent His only son to die on a cross for me, to bear my sin and the sins of everyone on the earth, so that we could one day live in heaven for eternity with Him. Why Jesus would choose to love me and bear my sin, to pardon me and pay my penalty i will never know, but one thing I do know is that because He loved me and died for me I will live for Him. He is a loving God but also a just and jealous God. He wants all of me...not just bits and pieces but my whole entire life. I cannot put anything above Him. At first that may seem insane but when you stop and think about it its not at all. He DIED for me...He stood in my place...I should have been on that cross but because of His love for us we dont have to do that...So why would I want to put anything above Him? The sad part is though that I do..we all do. I find myself being to busy to spend time with the Lord but because of His grace I have forgiveness. But this doesnt mean that I can just do whatever I want and then be like "Oh Lord forgive me" do it again and again and again. I have to repent and turn away from my sin. Following Jesus Christ was never meant to be easy but the Lord will pull you through anything...trust Him...He will never change...He will never fail you.
