Grace is difficult to receive. We’re not wired to receive grace, but to work for results. That’s why I think the “past” is so difficult to overcome or outlive for so many. We allow the past to define rather than shape. I think that’s what I like about this song. You are more than past mistakes or seasons of regret – you are more! Out of brokenness comes life extraordinaire. When one comes to Christ, you are remade and transformed – not just renovated. I love the video imagery. The background is chalked full of mistakes, hurts, and misdeeds. Then watch for the cleansing (the erasure from the self-kept record). Remember that God forgives even though it’s much more difficult to forgive self. Receive Christ’s forgiveness and then forgive yourself.
