"In this life I know what I've been, but in your arms I know what I am...my mistakes are running through my mind...when I don't measure up to much in this life...I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ"
I heard this in a song by Sanctus Real while I was driving today and it hit me so hard. I've been struggling lately with guilt and realizing I don't measure up. I messed up and I all I could think was how did I let it happen? How did I fall so far into complacency that I didn't hear God's voice as clearly as I know I should...as I know I want to?? But when I heard this song, I was blown away by the fact "when I don't measure up to much in this life...I'm a TREASURE in the arms of Christ." A treasure?? I just can't even comprehend how after all of the mistakes I've made, God could hold me and see me as a treasure...a precious possession...that's what I am when I'm in His arms. Maybe that's the point. His love is so great, His grace so complete, His forgiveness so final, that He makes me a treasure...makes me something so much more than I could ever be on my own. I still just feel at a loss for words with a love like that. I am nothing, and I too often put myself and my pride and my desires above God, the maker of everything. And yet to Him, I'm a treasure.
Jesus I love you, I need you, broken I come before you....wash me clean. Thank you that I am your treasure...may you always be mine...always.
