They are no more...

I was driving on a long trip yesterday, when I started to hear a song and it got stuck in my head. Now, usually this would be like getting any old song stuck in your head, but instead this was one of those times when it was just one line that would replay. That was not even the interesting part of the story.

The other day I had one of those days where my past would not leave me alone. My sins played on repeat.  I understood that God forgave me, but I couldn't understand why He would. I was just like those people in Corinth living a double life. Yet, I didn't understand why God chose to show me such grace. Why was I living the blessed life that I was now?

Then, as I drove down the stretching highway, I began to listen to the song playing in my mind. "Your sins are forgotten, they're on the bottom of the ocean floor... "
"God, is this for me?"
"Your sins are erased, they are no more, they're there on the ocean floor." And suddenly, I felt his love sweep over me. Covered by a "mighty wave", those things have been forgotten about. It was all because of a man named Jesus. Now I may dance in this freedom, floating free among waves of mercy and grace; no longer anchored to those things sitting at the bottom of the ocean floor.
