When Satan tempts me to despair
And tells me of the guilt within,
Upward I look and see Him there
Who made an end of all my sin.
Because the sinless Savior died
My sinful soul is counted free.
For God the just is satisfied
To look on Him and pardon me.
~ Before the Throne of God Above


Short post today - must prepare for the last week of school before Spring Break (YAY!).

Just wanted to post these lyrics as I was really touched by them in church. Isn't it true how when you fight through a whole bunch of personal gunk, and you think you've moved past it, you'll be hit with an awkward situation, or see that person again, or come across an old picture, and the same old self-loathing will come back and smack you in the face?

And isn't it amazing that God loves us in spite of all that internal gunk?

I'm sure there's a connection to grad school here somewhere. Dear readers, please feel free to exercise your close reading skills and make one.
