How Can It Be - Lauren Daigle



The simplicity of the Gospel...

"You gave your life, to give me mine.  
You say that I am free 
How can it be?"

As I sit here early on this morning, I have a lot to think about, both things to be thankful for and questions to ponder.  I wonder, what kind of love gives up His own life so that I can live in freedom from my sin and the law?  What kind of person am I because of that freedom?  Am I a Christian that shows others the goodness of God- full of life and grace and peace?  Am I a Christian that demonstrates the solemn and serious side of God that so often points others to the laws? 

Unfortunately, I am far too often, the latter of the two.  I believe in the Resurrection and in the freedom it gives but I don't truly live in that freedom.  I am content following a list of dos and don'ts in my day to day life.  I think belief in that freedom and living in that freedom can be two very different things.  

Though I fall you can make me new
from this death I will rise with you
Oh the grace reaching out for me
How Can it Be?

Oh, to be a woman who lives in the freedom of the cross; to understand that I am loved and accepted far more than I can comprehend; to believe that His grace is sufficient; to find joy- true joy; to accept his forgiveness for the times when I don't believe and to forgive myself for that doubt.
