Chris' prayer: Amy Grant's "Nothing is Beyond You"

Sometimes, on a Saturday afternoon, or late on a weekend night, I'll accidentally get caught up watching an infomercial. It isn't that I mean to, it is just that I don't have cable or satellite and, at those hours of the day, nothing much else to do. So one will come on, with all of its boastful claims, and I'll get sucked in. Though I've never purchased something from one of these 30-minute long commercials, I've often thought, "You know, I could really use that. I would __________ more if I had one of those."

This song reminds me of an infomercial. The lyrics are full of the same kinds of claims I hear on television: "Fills Eternity! Never stains! Cannot be contained by time! Even the Heavens stretch to hold Him!" And just like those infomercials, I am drawn in by what Grant is selling here. I want to be a part of this! I want my very own! I could really use this Creator she is talking about! I would totally be happier if I had what she has!

Fortunately for me, there is no limited time offer on this deal. He will out-wait me. I don't have to be one of the first 100 callers to get free shipping or a bonus gift. I can share Him with as many people as I want already. But just like those infomercial deals, I have to make sure to actually take advantage of what's been presented me and not let it sit on a shelf somewhere and collect dust.
