embraced by Grace

I love knowing that God really is all that I need. Even when I don't feel like He's enough - when I feel like I am missing something. I'm amazed this morning at Christ's love for me - that He continues to draw me to Himself, that He continues to take care of me, that He keeps loving. And even more amazing, is that His love has nothing to do with my love for Him, or me being good enough to deserve Him. He doesn't stop when I mess up; He doesn't even stop when I mean to sin. Nope - His love for me is relentless and incredibly capacious. Because of the hypostatic union, he gets it. He is God. He is Man. My High Priest understands. Because of the sacrifice, I am covered in the grace of His blood. Clean. Forgiven. Not because of me, because of Him. I didn't do a thing to earn it and I can't do a darn thing to keep the salvation that is life to me. What beauty! How great is the love that the Father has lavished on us - that He would call His kids, His very own!

All I Need
BY JJ AND DAVID HELLER

Don’t need a thing
My good Shepherd brings me all
You are all I need

You let me catch my breath
Even in the valley of death
You are all I need

All I need to be complete
Is Your love
Your blood that covers me

You lift up my head
You provide the wine and bread
You, You are all I need

There’s no need to fear
Even with my enemies here
You are all I need

All I need to be complete
Is Your love
Your blood that covers me

Goodness and mercy are following me
You’re all that I need
You make a home for me
Where pastures are green as far as I see
You are all I need

All I need to be complete
Is Your love
Your blood that covers me
