At the earlier part of the song, you would thought that it's just another song sang for a loved one. But reading through the lyrics, it's actually a song dedicated for Jesus. :) In this I was reminded by this verse in Ephesians 2:8-9:
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.
Before (and even now... sometimes) we do some arithmetic with God in our lives. We thought that if I do this He will love me more or if I do that He will love me less. Or what can I do in my life so I can be deserving to receive His blessings or to His promises He's been giving and fulfilling..
When we are so caught up with this, we could be missing the whole point. That Jesus is the sum of it all. That through Him we can have these blessings that originally we don't deserve. Through Him we can claim God's promises and hold on to them... even how many are they, they are yes & amen in Christ (1 Cor. 1:20). And ultimately through Him, we can commune with God our Father, be filled with the Holy Spirit and have an eternal life with Him.
So don't do arithmetic with God. We just need Jesus Christ. We just need to want Him, to have Him in our lives and follow Him. Like what it said from an old story that I heard in church... "Whoever gets the son gets everything." Jesus Christ is the sum. :)
**Haay, I'm in-love again.. :) ♥**
