If only my one heart
Was all you'd gain from all it cost
Well I know you would have still been a man
With a reason to willing offer your life
One of the most mind boggling parts of being a follower of Christ is trying to wrap my mind around the concept that Jesus died for ME. Jesus died for me as well as a million faces. What's crazy is that even if I was the only one on earth, Jesus still would have died just.for.me. I think that's something I forget. I often think, "Well, Jesus is out there for those other lost souls. It's not so much about me." But in a way it IS about me. I wish I could better understand how God thought of every single one of us when he let his Son die on the cross that we may all be forgiven and receive eternal life.

Wonderful post, Jen.
Even more mind boggling for me is when I consider that Jesus died for people who hate him, despise him, and curse him.
Dying for those who believe in you and who *try* to follow you (emphasis on the try), I can appreciate, but dying for those who hate you? That is the very definition of "incredible" to me.
You're right, Chris. I'm glad you brought that up.
