Like it was talking about me

For the first few times i heard this song "You Love Me Anyway" by Sidewalk Prophets I was a flat out jerk. (click the "this song" link for the official video.) It was annoying and I once again put myself ahead of the message. Turns out, after listening to and reading the lyrics, this song feels like it is literally my everyday story. Especially when he sings this:

"I am the thorn in your crown
But You love me anyway
I am the sweat from Your brow
But You love me anyway
I am the nail in Your wrist
But You love me anyway
I am Judas' kiss
But You love me anyway
See now I am the man who yelled out from the crowd
For Your blood to be spilled on this earth shaking ground
Yes then I turned away with a smile on my face
With this sin in my heart, tried to bury Your grace
And then alone in the night I still call out for You
So ashamed of my life, my life, my life"

I repent everyday for how wrongfully I treat others and my Messiah and my God. This reminds me that once again, I have nothing to do with my salvation and am convicted to the core to share Gods love with the world. After all my abuse, slander, sexuality, blasphemy, and shame, there is a God who actually wants me to know he STILL loves me.

Thats why I love Christianity: it's impossible.
