If I’m being honest, reading the story of what Jesus did on Calvery, never really register with me. I would hear it and just look at it as another story in the Bible. I always said it was because I’ve never really endured a lot of pain or loss. And I do believe having lost the love of my life. I really put that in perspective. Jesus suffered was beaten and tortured and crucified on the cross so that we could be forgiven. He made an ultimate sacrifice because he loved us, in the book of Matthew. Jesus prayed and cried to God and asked if there was any other way, and he humbly accepted that it was not his will, but the Lord be done. Taylor’s final moments with me were not peaceful She took her last manual breath while I was giving her CPR. And I could do nothing but scream God, please help me. God please take me. There’s gotta be another way. But it wasn’t in his plans. I still have trouble wrapping my head around it. But I know that Taylor’s sacrifice and her organ donations were so that others could live. It’s hard for me to swallow sometimes, but God used her so that others may live. Just like he died for us. And I know she would do it over and over again. In my selfishness, I want her with me. But I know that I’ll see her again and I’m thankful that Jesus died for me to have that opportunity. I hope that this all made sense it does in my head. Typing it out a little different. I love you Jesus loves you.
A few months back, I made a video about this song, and how much it meant to me. Might be one of the most relatable songs I’ve ever listened to, and I try to live my life like that daily. So it’s really cool to get and sit and talk to the man that wrote it. He told his story and I told mine. Really was an honor. And I hope if you listen to the lyrics just know that tomorrow is never guaranteed so every day like it’s your last. Hold your loved ones close cherish every moment with them because you never know when it could be your last. Thank you Cody for coming out.
