Jesus, Thank You!

Over Thanksgiving break, I found myself constantly giving thanks. There is never too much to be thankful for. Each year I thank God for the big blessings in my life such as, my family, friends, church, and God Himself. But sometimes, I forget the smaller things. I forget how fortunate I am to own my own Bible, never mind multiple Bibles. I forget that being able to SEE the Bible with two eyes is a blessing. Being able to HEAR music and worship God through music is something to be extremely thankful for! We are called to enter God’s gates with thanksgiving! There is so much to be thankful for, all the way from being able to walk on a daily basis to God’s unconditional love for us, that He would send His one and only son to the cross for us!

I love the song called “Jesus, Thank You,”

“The mystery of the cross I cannot comprehend,
The agonies of Calvary.
You, the Perfect Holy One, crushed Your Son,
Drank the bitter cup reserved for me.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.

By Your perfect sacrifice I’ve been brought near,
Your enemy made Your friend.
Pouring out the riches of Your glorious grace,
Your mercy and your kindness know no end.

Your blood has washed away my sin,
Jesus, thank You.
The Father’s wrath completely satisfied,
Jesus, thank You.
Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,
Jesus, thank You.”

I can’t comprehend what God has done for us, but by His perfect sacrifice I have been brought near to Him. His blood has washed away all my sin! I once lived a life running away from God, but now I am with Him! “Once Your enemy, now seated at Your table,” is an amazing verse in this song. It takes an incredible amount of forgiveness and love to have your enemy now sitting with you at the same table! God has given us an undeserved gift, we should be forever thankful!
