East to West

So why is my blog called "East to West"? The title of my blog came from the Casting Crowns song East to West, an awesome song, it's been my favorite song for awhile now

The song was written based off of Psalm 103:11-12

Take a minute and read through the lyrics

Why is it so hard for us, as humans, to understand that God doesn't hold anything against us (Ezekiel 18:22)? Why do we let things hinder our growth and not move forward (Philippians 3:13)? He forgives us, He lays our sins as far away from us as possible, as far as the East is from the West

Satan likes to hold us down and keep us dwelling on the fact that we are sinner. Yes, I know we are sinners, but if we dwell on what is of the past we won't fully experience what God has planned for us (Jeremiah 29:11-12)

So what this song means to me is to not be held down by anything or anyone, especially Satan, and to live the life God wants you to live and He set forth for you

Beautiful song...Beautiful God


Peace


Oh...that first link is a link to my Myspace page which you can play the song from and take a look at my page, which I'm never on


And...if you have time check out this article about Casting Crowns and their new album, The Altar and the Door, which includes the East to West song

Cool post. And I thought you named your blog "East to West" because you like to travel. Who knew you were so deep. Just kidding. I've always been impressed with you maturaty, especially your spiritual maturity. I heard the song today on the radio and thought of you. I love that we are all blogging now. Hopefully we'll be an inspiration to each other as well as others who read by sharing our own personal journeys with Christ. Love you!
