Was blind but now I see

Lately I have been attending my church's young adult bible study, its so amazing there. I have met so many wonderful spirit filled people, and I have had a lot fun in these bible studies; I take away so much from it when I leave. Lately the topic in the bible study has been responsibility. At the surface, when we think of responsibility, we think of a responsibility to pay bills, or do chores, or keeping track of objects. What we don't realize is that responsibility has a much deeper meaning. I am not going to get fully into all of this, but what I have come to realize (that I did not discuss with my table at my bible study) is that part of irresponsibility is taking things for granted, and a HUGE thing that I am so guilty of taking for granted is that Jesus took MY place on the cross.

I came to this realization driving to college one day, and a song titled Should've been me by citizens way came on the radio. The lyrics hit me "It should've been me, should've been us, should've been there hanging on a cross". Because of how much God loves us, he GAVE us his only son, so that we do not have to suffer. We go about our daily lives without the realization that we can do fun activities with our families, and we can go shopping and have our careers, only because Jesus died on the cross for us. I am humbled, when I know that I have my wonderful life, only because Jesus made that possible for me. I don't ever want to take his sacrifice for granted. Thank you Jesus!

 I always thank my God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. (1 Corinthians 1:4)
