Rice, myspace, secular music on the guitar... It just doesn't add up to how much God has given me, and how much God has sacrificed for me. He gave his son, and his son gave his life. Whenever I'm bored, and I want to get on to myspace, but then I remember, oh yeah, it's lent, and I'm like, "Darn," I think about the image of the nails being forcefully driven into Jesus' hands as he was crucified, of the pain he felt as the spear was driven into his side, and of the suffering he went through as he slowly bled to death on the cross.
All for me. All for us. And half of us doubt his very existence.
Tell me, do you think you gave up enough for lent? I know for certain that I didn't, and even though I can't change it now, I still acknowledge what Jesus did for me, and I praise and thank him with my entire being. My entire LIFE, because that's what he gave for me, so I offer him MY life, here on the Earth that he created, no matter how pathetic my life and being are, I will worship his name, and repay him through service, and even though I will never go through the same excruciating experience as he did, I would if it was for him.
My God, my savior, my friend. It's all for you.
-Bam.
