Easter has just come and gone. It caused me to wonder how good a Christian have I been. Have I been exemplary? Have I been a good witness? If Jesus came again now, would I be one of the few whisked up into the clouds with him?

Each time I think about it, the more the guilt overcomes me. I know I haven’t been the best of Christians. My temper has been quick, my quiet time scarce, and my ability to tolerate people at an all time low. I am such an unchristian Christian. And yet, I purport the image to church elders and my parents that I am fine.. and all is going la la in the land of Samantha.

Reading james’ blog and remembering this song cause me just to be still and ponder.. where exactly am I in my christian walk. Have I forgotten the One who loved me so. Have I thrown away my Christian upbringing? Am I so sucked up in the world to forget that I am not of this world?

I thank God for bringing me back to His side, through a simple song. I pray that I’d make him proud in the coming days.. and never lose focus on who my God is.

I’m forgiven, because you were forsaken
I’m accepted, you were condemned
I’m alive and well, your spirit is within me
Because you died and rose again

Amazing love, how can it be
That my king would die for me
Amazing love, I know it’s true
It’s my joy to honor you
In all I do, I honor you

Jesus, you are my King
