The Scandal Of Grace

At Youth America, an amazing church camp in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, the worship was amazing. An hour or more of fully surrendering to the King of the Universe through prayer and praise. It was breathtaking.
One of the songs they sang for worship was "Scandal Of Grace" by Hillsong United. The lyrics of the song say "Oh to be like You! I give ALL I have just to KNOW YOU! JESUS, there's no one beside You! Forever the HOPE in my heart!"
Oh to be like Jesus. To be like Him... that just takes my breath away. It's amazing. We are to be reflections of Him. We can never be perfect because our flesh won't let us. But Jesus is perfect, and being like Him means to give everything we have just for Him and His kingdom. It's Agape Love, to love like He loves. Agape means selfless love.
One of the best friends that I have ever had told me about Agape love. It seriously changed my life because I realized that Love is not just a feeling. It is a true action. Agape love is the love that Jesus Christ displayed for us. He loves us so much that He came to Earth in the form of man to die for our sins. Only sinless human blood could pay the price and pay our debt. No human is without sin.. so the God of all creation chose to put Himself in flesh(Son) and live a selfless life and suffer to death for our sake. He took the form of man to reach us. Now nothing can separate us from Him, except for our personal sin. Our personal sin can be forgiven now though.. by the blood of Jesus Christ poured our for us ALL.

See, the pressure is off us. No one is less because of the sins they committed. No sin is greater or less than the other. Jesus died to pay the debt of all. Jesus is the God of many second chances. "The scandal of grace, You died in my place so my soul will LIVE."

Jesus, thank You. You literally gave it all for us. Put Yourself in flesh to die for us. You were Your own father and died for us. I love You, Lord. Forgive us for all that we've done. I know, now, that You aren't mad at us. You are mad about us. You love us with such a deep and beautiful Love that I don't even think I have fully comprehended yet. It's so deep, Lord.. thank You. Reaching out to us, You died a humbling death. You came in flesh and left in flesh in the most humble way. Forgive us Jesus. Humble us. Use us in ways we never thought possible, so that the world will know Your name. They shall all know Your name one day, and every knee shall bow and every tongue shall confess that You are God. We love You Jesus. Hallelujah to the King of kings, the Almighty God, Savior, Prince of Peace. I plead the blood of Jesus Christ over ever individual reading in Jesus name. Help us remember You in every thing we do. You are not mad at us for what we did. In fact, You died for us. You reached out to hold our dirty hands. Clean us Jesus! I rebuke the devil away from every reader in Jesus name! WE ARE NOT BROKEN ANYMORE! WE ARE FREE! Show us what to do for You, Lord. Make us whole again, make us whole. I love You Jesus. We will fight to follow. We will fight for Love. Every household is restored in the name of Jesus Christ! Set in line everything that has fallen out of place in Jesus name! I send angels to protect and minister to every individual reading and their lives and families in Jesus name! Amen.

FIGHT TO FOLLOW! 
FIGHT FOR LOVE!
