I can't reach my hands high enough, when I'm reaching for You my God.

Here am I.
In complete adoration of my savior Christ
And what a wonderful night tonight was!

First off, I want to start with this quote from the very legit CS Lewis.

“I am trying here to prevent anyone saying the really foolish thing that people often say about Him: “I’m ready to accept Jesus as a great moral teacher, but I don’t accept His claim to be God.” That is the one thing we must not say. A man who said the sort of things Jesus said would not be a great moral teacher. He would either be a lunatic — on a level with the man who says he is a poached egg — or else he would be the Devil of Hell. You must make your choice. Either this man was, and is, the Son of God: or else a madman or something worse. You can shut Him up for a fool, you can spit at Him and kill Him as a demon; or you can fall at His feet and call Him Lord and God. But let us not come with any patronizing nonsense about His being a great human teacher. He has not left that open to us. He did not intend to.”

Tonight was a good night. It made me realize how much I am truly going to miss Grace Student Ministries, and especially being a member of the worship band! Tonight we sang "There is No One Like You" by the awesome David Crowder, and boy did we rock it, praise the Lord! But it totally made me realize how there is NOBODY like our Jesus!



It's incredible how people try to turn away from him. Why would anyone want to turn away from such wondrous love?! It's beyond my capability to understand, I for one love being loved. So why ever would I think to turn away from the greatest love ever shown, that is crazy! I love the lines in the the song that say "And how could I ever deny, The love of my Savior, You are to me everything, All I need forever". And that's what I want to ask, how can you ever deny?

Its like our world wants to make everything so complex. Make it so hard. Deny this deny that, accept this and that. Jesus asks for us to believe, and to know HIS love! It isn't difficult at all. But people try to make it so by saying he was only a great teacher, or some dude, but that's not it! CS Lewis' brilliant quote sums it all up. Jesus is either a raging lunatic or the Son of Man. There's no middle ground there. I cannot understand why people want to turn away from such love, grace, and life. Now that there is lunacy!

Who is Jesus? The ONLY way to Heaven. And oh how I love Him, and how He loves us!

But alas, I am heavyhearted. GSM has been such a wonderful place in my life. The people, the message, and the band! I'm saddened as I think that I am moving on to UCSD, and away from it. But life goes on. God has a plan for me somewhere down this road of mine, and boy am I stoked for it. I hope you pray for me that I may just lay back and trust God and his mighty power!

Signing out with love. Praise be to our wonderful Savior!
Dan
