There are few things in this world that can break through my seemingly impenetrable heart like music. Church hymns are some of the most moving pieces of music for me; this morning, we sang one of my favorites, Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing. I can never remember why I like that hymn so much until I get to the third stanza:

Oh, to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be!
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord, I feel it; prone to leave the God I love;
Here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for Thy courts above.

I can barely sing the words. Faith and doubt are constantly at war in me; my greatest fear is that I would leave the God I love. I know that only God himself can draw me to him, and I pray each day that he will continue to do so.

Jesus looked at him and said, “How hard it is for the rich to enter the kingdom of God! Indeed, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God.” Those who heard this asked, “Who then can be saved?” Jesus replied, “What is impossible with men is possible with God.” (Luke 18:23-27, NIV)
