Take one part Psalm 1:1-3.
How happy is the one who does not walk in the advice of the wicked or stand in the pathway with sinners or sit in the company of mockers! Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction, and he meditates on it day and night. He is like a tree planted beside flowing streams that bears its fruit in its season, and its leaf does not wither. Whatever he does prospers.
Add a cup of John 15:13.
No one has greater love than this: to lay down his life for his friends.
Season to taste with "Amazing Grace".
Was blind, but now I see.
Mix well and cook over a sweet overlay of guitars, and you've got Phil Keaggy's "Now I Can See".
I can feel a warmth inside filling me
A hand touched my eyes
Now I believe the Son did rise
And He will be my Everlasting Light
Now I can see what He wants me to see
I then shall be like a tree planted by a river
And I shall not be moved
Come and walk with Me, He said
Talk with Me, I am your friend, your friend
Greater love hath no man than this
That a man lay down his life for his friends
And He did, yes He did
This was God's love for man
He took upon Him all of our sins
And this was His plan, His plan
Now I can feel that warmth inside filling me
His hand touched my life
Now I can see what He wants me to see
I then shall be like a tree planted by a river
And I shall not be moved

Truth is...While being a Christian involves looking at facts and making decisions, there is certainly an emotional element and a personal benefit. I'm not just recognizing Jesus' authority or adhering to a list of rules. I am being transformed into a better, wiser, more joy-filled person.
