Once and for all...

I'm going to start by explaining the name of my blog and at the same time explaining who I am and what I believe.

    I, Meleah Tucker, am not perfect. I know, I know, you're shocked! haha I'm a sinner that has been saved by grace. I have a merciful Savior who loved me despite my imperfection. It's amazing to me, this grace that He has given to me. I don't understand it. I probably never fully will but it's been given to me anyways. When God sent His only son to the world He sent him - Once - and for ALL!
    I do believe however that if it had just been me....He'd have died just the same to save me. It was my sins that put Him on the cross and when I came to that realization I knew my life would never be the same. Now, does that mean I don't mess up? That my life will be all roses and a walk in the park? BY NO MEANS! I struggle daily to keep my faith strong and my life pure. I mess up....a lot! However, just as Christ came for all people, He also came once and forgave me of all. He only asks that I believe.

I don't deserve this love. I don't deserve this grace. God loved me anyways and for that to Him I give all praise, honor and glory forever and ever! Amen!!!

**Below is a song I sang once in high school and fueled the name for my blog**

Once and for All - Sandi Patti

I was tired
I was weary
Of running the endless race alone
I remember the emptiness
All the reward I had to show
You were there all the time
Holding on to my life
You heard when I cried

Once and for all
You gave it all
Held out Your hand to me
My destiny
Tore down the wall
Once and for all
Built between God and man
Love made me understand
You came, You died to save the world
For our hearts great and small
Once and for all

There's a longing in every heart
Needing the deeper touch of love
In our search we look everywhere
It's always been waiting there just above
You saw the world in its pain
In our struggle You came
You broke all the chains

Once and for all
You gave it all
Held out Your hand to me
My destiny
Tore down the wall
Once and for all
Built between God and man
Love made me understand
You came, You died to save the world
For our hearts great and small
Once and for all

This Heaven's gift the world receives
The love You freely give
You only ask that I believe
For me to truly live
