  1. He’s got salvation in His hand
    if you believe it’s true
    and bring yourself to understand
    that it’s offered, just for you
    to take with bright and merry heart
    in knowing that He’ll save
    you and keep you ever apart
    from the yawning grave.
    Accepting Him is all to win;
    there is nothing to lose
    except your soul-destroying sin,
    so which, then, will you choose?
    A joyous bright eternity,
    or aeons of hell’s misery?

  2. Such a beautiful reminder for all of us. Grace freely offered – and yet we can make it so complicated to receive! Oh, I am so grateful for His tender affection and fresh mercies every morning!!

  3. I don’t think our relationship with Christ was meant to be easy. We have a choice as to whether or not to have a relationship with Him, and relationships are not easy. They require time and work, and EFFORT, which is not always easy to give. Yes, Jesus made it look easy, but I imagine that it wasn’t, especially His walk to the cross, yet He chose it anyway, despite it being difficult.

  4. I by no means want to insinuate that Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross was an easy thing. I am humbled by the significance of everything He gave up for me to call me His own. In typing this blog so quickly, I was mostly reflecting on the miracles He performed with seeming ease. I do not want to presume that Calvary was not a sacrifice for Jesus. His prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane alludes to intense physical suffering and relinquishing His will to His Father.
    I was mostly focusing on the fact that He is the God of the impossible who created and sustains all things and loves us with a pure and perfect love. There is nothing too difficult for Him, and therein lies my hope.
    “Knowing He is a God of the impossible, you’d think I’d easily surrender my will into His keeping.”
    If I reflect on God’s character and faithfulness, it should not be a hard choice for me to follow Him. Thankfully, it is His Spirit that draws me to Himself and continues this work of redemption in me. And it is only through His power that I can choose to walk in faith and align my life to follow His commands. For that, I am forever grateful. He has given me the easy part in this relationship. 🙂
