Buried Treasure

I wrote this blog more than a year ago and realized I never published it.  Maybe the friend I wrote it for needs it now more than ever.

 I listen to alot of Christian music in the car.  I listen to it for a lot of reasons....I don't want Isabel in the car listening to Kane on 99.5 - he's gross and likes to exploit all that is wrong with this world for laughs.  It's disgusting.  Anyhow, most of the time I listen to 95.1 or 91.9 because I like it.  Lame Christian radio or not, I still like it.

I was in the car the other day thinking about making myself a modern day mixed tape to give to a friend going through a hard time.  I know that this person doesn't normally listen to this type of music so I was trying to think about all of the songs I love from various artists that I would put on this "mixed tape" that would speak into their situation.  There are so many good artists out there right now...from Mandisa to Natalie Grant to Chris Tomlin and Chris August.  But I remembered a Sanctus Real song that I loved....a specific lyric that I loved that I wanted to share with everyone.

The last album that they came out with had a song on there that was very different from their usual style and it was called, Forgiven.  There is one particular line in this song that I love.  It says, "when I don't measure up to much in this life, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ."

I love that line.  "when I don't measure up to much in this life, I'm a treasure in the arms of Christ."  No one loves me like He does.  And when my whole world is crashing down around me and my life is falling apart, and I'm facing a mountain I feel I can't climb, this is how I will define myself.
