what if

What if you're right
He was just another nice guy
What if you're right
What if it's true
They say the cross will only make a fool of you
And what if it's true

What if He takes His place in history
With all the prophets and the kings
Who taught us love, and came in peace
But then the story ends
What then

*But what if you're wrong
What if there's more
What if there's hope you never dreamed of hoping for
What if you jump
Just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if He's more than enough
What if it's love

What if you dig
Way down deeper than your simple-minded friends
What if you dig
What if you find
A thousand more unanswered questions down inside
That's all you find

What if you pick apart the logic
And begin to poke the holes
What if the crown of thorns is no more than folklore that must be told
And retold

'Cause you've been running as fast as you can
You've been looking for a place you can land
For so long
But what if you're wrong

What if you jump
Just close your eyes
What if the arms that catch you, catch you by surprise
What if He's more than enough
What if it's love

What if it's love

I must have listened to this song on repeat at least 5 times what a incredible thought.Especially for the secular world what if you choose to deny creation and a creator and spend a eterninty in complete seperation from God?
Something that has weighed heavily on my heart lately.I have been reading a book called One Heartbeat Away by Mark Cahill and this book is incredible at explaing in simple terms about evolution and its rival creation.It even goes as far as to quot famous scientists including Darwin who dosent even begin to fathem his own theroy on the big bang could be true.(I never knew that.)The book also discusses like this song what if you bet your entire life on their is no God and there really is where does that leave you.I got chills reading parts of this book the descibe people who have passed from this life into the other for seconds or minutes only to return either disappointed to be returning or relived to no longer be in the presence and amidts so much suffering.I pray one day my Little Josiah and baby ? will make the decision to follow Christ I long to see what a wonderful man of God he will be and also the man/woman of God this other child also will be.How exciting.!I also am slightly baffled I believe birth is probaly one of the most amazing things you can expierence and in some form everyone expirences it in life right.How much more incredible is creation and although we ALL expierence it so many people chose to not belive it ever happened.How sad.Such a amazing a beautiful thing God did and created and some people fail to give him credit.I for one think the veiw of a perfect sunset on a beach or a sunrise over snowy mountains almost echos the existance of such a awesome God that he has also given us free will to believe as we wish.Even if we chose to not believe in him and not to give him the praise and credit he truley deserves.

O LORD, how many are Your works! In wisdom You have made them all; the earth is full of Your possessions. There is the sea, great and broad, in which are swarms without number, animals both small and great. There the ships move along, and Leviathan, which You have formed to sport in it. They all wait for You to give them their food in due season. You give to them, they gather it up; You open Your hand, they are satisfied with good. You hide Your face, they are dismayed; You take away their spirit, they expire and return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and You renew the face of the ground. Let the glory of the LORD endure forever; let the LORD be glad in His works; ... Psa 104:24-31.

How amazing a God I serve and how much more amazing the chance to serve him!I love you Lord!
