Damage

I love this story of Paul setting sail with a bunch of prisoners for Rome. Since it was taking so long to get ready and it was past the Day of Atonement, Paul warned everyone that it was too late to travel and bad things were going to happen. Sometimes in our own lives people or God, through His word, warn us that if we do this or do that we might cause "Damage" to our lives.

This song is about that moment when we have messed up big time and we are feeling the pain and consequences of our actions. Just like in the story when the storm comes crashing into the boat with hurricane force, it can certainly shake the foundation of who we are and make us feel full of shame and worthlessness.

The best part of the story is close to the end, when everyone has given up all hope of being saved. Paul tells them to take courage no one is going to die. The ship will be destroyed but we will live.

The consequences of our actions can definitely come at a high price, but we should not lose hope for we know no matter what we have done Christ Loves us, even through the damage in our lives. In the end we will all reach dry land safely if we listen and obey. So let us keep our eyes fixed on Jesus and encourage each other along the way.
