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

Bible Discussion.

I want to challenge you all to read Jeremiah Chapters 7 and 8 and once your done i want you to post as a comment onto this blog your thoughts on this portion of Scripture. Warning: this is not an eazy portion to swallolw but i really want to hear what you all have to say. How it makes you feel? Why do you think God felt this way? Can you relate to this Scripture? Can you relate to both God and the people?

I just want to hear what you all have to say :) i’ll be waiting for answers!

Is There Hope For Me?

I was talking to a friend of mine last last, and we got talking about the Old Testament for some odd reason. We were pointing out how the children of Israel were always:

 

  • Stumbling
  • Falling
  • Failing
  • Backstabbing God right to His face
  • Turning to idols
  • Building themselves some idols
  • Talking trash about their leaders
  • Talking trash about God
  • Rebelling
  • And the list goes on and on and on.

 

You know, if you look at all those thing, and that was just to name the very least, it really is no different then what the world is doing today. So many people are saying, “Oh my, the world is so going to hell”, and so many people are commenting about how bad our world has gotten. Take a closer look at the sins, the attitudes and actions that the Israelites dealt with, it is very simular to what we are dealling with today.

What makes it worst is that these people saw God’s hand at work.

 

  • They saw the Egyptian army get annihilated right before their eyes
  • They saw the red sea crack open and were able to walk on dry ground
  • They saw Moses whack a rock and water randomly came out of it
  • They were miraculously fed in the desert every day
  • and they STILL complained and rebelled.

 

It’s not like they never saw God at work, they did first hand, but they still chose to go their own way and God STILL forgave them. If God forgave them while they were still under law, He can certainly forgive you, that are under GRACE!

There is hope for you and I. No matter how bad we fall and fail, we can get back up, repent and run towards Him. He will always accept you the way you are!
