Amazing.

Amazing Grace.

Those words have become cliché in current Christian American culture. For many, the mention of them brings a sweet melody and a few catchy phrases to the forefront of mind’s eye. Hopefully we can look past a song written in the 1700’s and see the value and weight this phrase holds. Amazing. Grace. I am simply amazed that The Creator would find mercy enough to extend a pardon for me, even when my sin deliberately continues to breathe. I don’t understand it, nor do I need to. The beauty of God’s love and the mystique of His character lie in the unknown of His reasons. Reasons to save. Reasons to love. Reasons to discipline. Reasons to desire us.
