Someone Worth Dying For

So day one of my 30-day K-Love challenge has proven to bring tears to my eyes. I have found a song that just struck me because its literally exactly what I ask myself everyday. Am I worthy of His death? Did Jesus sacrificed himself for me? Do I get God's grace? This question haunts many of us in our lives. And sometimes the answer seems to be no, you are not worthy. But that is so not what Jesus taught.

God's love is vast and wide. His love is so great that one cannot even imagine the love He has for his children. And you are His child. All the sins you do in your life He already knows about, and loves you still. He sent his only begotten son so that you, one of an infinite number of souls, could return to His presence.

And if that makes you feel like a tiny dot on this huge piece of paper, think of yourself as your own unique color. And every person to have lived, living, or is going to live has their own unique color. So that colored dot that you are represents that God knows you, He has a specific plan for you, and He has hopes and dreams for you. He knows all the colors of all the dots so specifically that He knows the sins you have yet to commit. And wanna know an even crazier thing? HE STILL LOVES YOU.

After sinning, rather it be one time offense or a repeat offense, I constantly sit and ponder my worthiness of God's forgiveness. How could I, a person who knows of God and His commandments, be forgiven for breaking them? I get down on myself, I disobeyed God even though the commandments He set for us is not too difficult to follow. And just like that, I feel unworthy of Jesus's suffering. But Jesus suffered for our sins, so if no one is worthy of His suffering then what did Jesus suffer for? Or who did Jesus suffer for? You, and me.

The song "Someone Worth Dying For" by Mikeschair touched my heart.

"Am I more than flesh and bone?
Am I really something beautiful?
Yeah, I wanna believe
I wanna believe that

I'm not just some wandering soul
That You don't see and You don't know
Yeah, I wanna believe, Jesus, help me believe
That I am someone worth dying for."

Then it goes on...

"You're worth it, you can't earn it
Yeah, the cross has proven
That You're sacred and blameless
Your life has purpose

You are more than flesh and bone
Can't you see, you're something beautiful?
Yes, you gotta believe, you gotta believe
He wants you to see, He wants you to see

That you're not just some wandering soul
That can't be seen and can't be known
Yeah, you gotta believe, you gotta believe that you are
Someone worth dying for."

Know your value to God. Know that God has a plan for you. That no matter what you do in your life , good or bad, God still loves you and is waiting for you to return to Him. Just ask for forgiveness, repent, talk to God, and right your wrongs and you will be worthy of His death. You are a son/daughter of God and He knows you.
