Etched on my mind...

As I was running errands this morning, I had my "So High the Price" CD playing. I was singing along to one of my favorites, "The Look," when I had to stop and catch my breath. I know I've quoted part of this song on my blog before...but I looked at it anew this morning.

...With pleasing grief and mournful joy

my spirit now is filled,

That I should such a life destroy,

yet live by Him I killed.

 

Forever etched upon my mind

is the look of Him who died,

The Lamb I crucified...

 

{"The Look" by John Newton and Bob Kauflin}

 

I had to ask myself, What is etched upon my mind? Is it the cross? Is it the agonizing sacrifice Jesus made? Everytime I'm tempted to sin, do I remind myself that Jesus died because of this?

 

No, the cross is not etched upon my mind.

 

But I want it to be.

 

How about you?
