driven to gratefulness

I want to take you on a short journey.  Saturday night i was attempting to go to sleep and I'll tell you all day Sunday i was still thinking about a few scriptures.  If you are a follower of God who has believed savingly and invited Jesus into your heart confessing him with both heart and mouth that Jesus Christ died and was buried and resurrected from the dead and he cleansed you of your sins i want you to consider some verses.  Romans 5:8 has been rumbling thru my brain since yesterday because i think we missed two things.  1.  We need to capture the wonder once again 2.  I believe we need to take a moment to pray and say thank you.  Romans 5:8  "But God showed us his great love for us by sending Christ to die for us while we were still sinners."  We could do nothing not now not ever.  look at what kind of love we were given.  God loved you and me so much He sent his son to die for us.  let that sink in.  "But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much that even though we were dead because of our sins, He gave us life when He raised Christ from the dead.  (it is only by God's grace that you have been saved."  Ephesians 2:45.  Now there's something i want you the reader to do and it's not because i said so or asked you to.  i want this to be from your heart because you desire to.  in your own words pray and thank God for his love and for Salvation and let his love fill you.  

If you need help with thanking God this song is directly thanking him.
