I hear the Savior say
Thy strength indeed is small
Child of weakness....watch and pray
Find in me....thine all in all
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
Lord, now indeed I find
Thy power and Thine alone
Can change the leper's spots
And melt the heart of stone
For nothing good have I
Whereby Thy grace to claim
I'll wash my garments white
In the blood of Calvary's Lamb
And when before thy throne
I stand in Him complete
Jesus died my soul to save
My lips shall still repeat
Jesus paid it all
All to Him I owe
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
I don't think I'm capable of reading or singing these words without truly realizing how AMAZING God is.
"For nothing good have I, whereby thy grace to claim...' -- the more I observe myself, the more I see how true this is. I'm such a selfish sinner, and I care WAY too much about what others think about me. I have that whole 'self-promotion' problem where I feel like I have to make myself cool for everyone because...who else is going to do it? When, truthfully, I shouldn't even be thinking about that.
How do I magnify Christ? (NOT MYSELF)
Why is He worth it?
Sin had left a crimson stain
He washed it white as snow
and I did nothing to deserve that.
ALL TO HIM I OWE.

Just so you know. You are cool and admired. You awesome sense of style, which doesn't seem to hinge on anyone's opinion, your security of who you are, and your desire to discover where you are going in life, and stay within His will. It all makes you very cool, and amazingly fun to read after. :D
