10 Good Reasons Why

Ever felt like you were never good enough for God? I sure have felt that MANY times. I was just listening to “10 Good Reasons” by “Hello Kelly” and i just couldn’t help my self but to pull up the lyrics and to post them here. Tell you what, I am SOOO thankful that Christ died to forgive me EVEN though He knew how many times I would mess up. Romans 5:8 says that Jesus actually died for us EVEN while we were still sinners. It means that He didn’t do it because we showed any improvement or that we did anything that looked promising. Rather He did it in Hope that one day we would turn from our wicked ways and accept His love and sacrifice.

When you feel like your not good enough and that you feel like you need to give God reasons as to why He should love you, welcome to the club. All you need to do is to thank Him for His sacrifice and show Him that you love Him by obeying Him.

10 Good Reasons – Hello Kelly:

This is the first thing I remember
I’ve seen black and white forever
But the mistakes I’ve made are making me afraid
That I might do something
Something that can’t be forgiven
So I’ve got this suit and tie
Something I can hide behind

And it feels like I’ve got give you

10 good reasons why
You still love me every time
10 good reasons
I deserve forgiveness every night
10 good reason why
You still love me when I
I ain’t got no reason why

And I remember laying everything down
Only to turn around and sell you out
It’s like I’m laughing in your face for the sacrifice you made
But you’re breaking my defenses
And you’ll carry me when it feels like

it feels like

it feels like I’ve got give you

10 good reasons why
You still love me every time
10 good reasons
I deserve forgiveness every night
10 good reason why
You still love me when I
I ain’t got no reason why
you still love me every time

i got no reason why

But this is everything I wanted:
To give you reasons I’m not
Everything you wanted
Theres blood on my hands
These 10 reasons I can’t give you
Is one more reason that I need you

10 good reasons why
10 good reasons why

10 good reasons why
You still love me every time
10 good reasons
I deserve forgiveness every night
10 good reason why
You still love me when I
I ain’t got no reason why
you still love me every time

I aint got no, I aint got no, I aint got no reasons why
I ain’t got no, I aint got no, got no reason why

10 good reasons

The paradox of our time in history.

The paradox of our time in history is that…

  • We have taller buildings but shorter tempers.
  • We have wider Freeways, but narrower viewpoints.
  • We have bigger houses and smaller families.
  • We have more conveniences, but less time.
  • We have more degrees but less sense.
  • We have more knowledge, but less judgement.
  • We have more experts, yet more problems.
  • We have more medicine, but less wellness.
  • We spend more, but have less.
  • We buy more, but enjoy less.
  • We write more, but learn less.
  • We plan more, but accomplish less.
  • We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
  • We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values.
  • We’ve learned how to make a living, but not a life.
  • We’ve  added years to life but not life to years.
  • We conquered outer space but not inner space.
  • We’ve been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor.
  • We’ve done larger things, but not better things.
  • We’ve cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul.
  • We’ve conquered the atom, but not our prejudice.
  • We’ve learned to rush, but not to wait.
  • We build more computers to hold more information, but we communicate less and less.
  • We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and laugh too little and pray too seldom.

These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses but more broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill.

Give time to love and care, warmth and affection.

Give time to life!
