When I don’t fit in
And I don’t feel like I belong anywhere
When I don’t measure up to much in this life
Oh, I’m a treasure in the arms of Christ- Forgiven by Sanctus Real
I absolutely love this song by Sanctus Real. I am forgiven by God and I don't have to carry around the guilt and be weighed down by my sins because I am forgiven. How awesome is that! Jesus came down and died for us, people who doesnt deserve anything. He took the cross because he loves us! Because of Him, I dont have to live in the past or be defined by my failures. He died for me, so I live for Him.
I don't have to try and measure up to what anybody says is acceptable to have in this life like popularity, money, designer clothes, or a big house with everything I want. Sometimes i do get so beaten down and i know that is a work from Satan who is a loser. I am forgiven, and I can do anything through Jesus. I am forgiven and I belong to the King of Kings. I think Christians, hear the lie that to have a good life we have to be accepted in the world, and if we don't fit in or we become lonely it recks our self esteem, I must admit that I wonce believed this lie. Truthfully it is great to have friends but we can't set our focus on temporary things this world. Remember we are forgiven and God, our Abba Father has brought us out of this world, we are His. Jesus is all we need.
No matter what we have done, we are a treasure in the arms of Christ. Wow everytime I listen to that part of the song Forgiven i get tears in my eyes. Its a powerful concept. Jesus knows me and you, He sacrifices himself for me and you,and He loves me and you. When he looks at us he doesn't see all the wrong things we have done because when he forgave us he kept no record of our wrong, he only sees us as his Treasure!!! So we should not keep playing over all our sins, but instead remember that we are forgiven and we live for Him. So let me put this again: I'M A TREASURE IN THE ARMS OF CHRIST!!!!!!!!!
