I wonder that all the time. Why has God been so good to me. I have done nothing to deserve God's goodness. In fact I have lived a life that deserved just the opposite. For the biggest part of my life I struggled with the big sins. dishonesty, unfaithfulness, ungodly passions, and extreme self centeredness. I would love to say that those things are completely in my past but I know that only by the power of God's spirit am I able to say they no longer control my life. I also know better than to presume to be able to  walk on my own or to pridefully look down on those who still struggle and succumb to the ugly defilers of the human existence. For without question at that moment I would find myself overtaken again because at that moment my father would remind me of my total reliance on him. And I do not say that with fear, I say that with thankfulness in that I know he love's me enough to save me from my own self destruction.

My desire now is to use the gifts God has given me and every opportunity to bring others to a better knowledge and understanding of him. I believe that is why he has given me all these songs. I know they can touch hearts because I have seen it and they have touched mine. But they are only a pleasant introduction or a sweet reminder. Like a beautiful photograph of the Grand Canyon or Yosemite National Park or a newborn baby. Such a photograph might bring tears of joy or longing desire but the photograph could never measure up to true experience.

If these songs touch you, then please long for and send your heart on the real experience. God longs to give you that. There are people all around you who he is ready to use to help you find him. But remember they are only an imperfect reflection of him. They have flaws and inconsistencies that may confuse you but your goal is not to find a perfect human. The goal is to find the Perfect God. And when you find him, and get to know him personally he will not disappoint you.
 
That is why I hope I am here. To help show you the way. I pray that someday you will see him as he clearly is... much kinder and more Glorious than any song could capture. 

God Bless You,
