May the world despise and leave me...

May the world despise and leave me
They have left my savior too
Human hearts and looks deceive me
Thou art not like them untrue

Oh, while Thou should smile upon me
God of wisdom, love, and might
Foes may hate and friends disown me
Show Thy face and all is bright

I went to Summer Camp this past week. It was really good. The theme was the cost of following Christ- "And He said to them, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever will save his life will lose it and whoever will lose his life for My sake will save it.'" -Luke 9:23-24

God is so good. I am amazed that He would love me at all, and yet even when I am a horrible person He looks at me and He sees Christ- No matter what I do!
I can honestly say that I would that the world should leave me- or better- that I would leave the world behind so that Christ is all that I have, for Christ is all that I really want! Oh, what a savior! that He should grant me the love with which I love Him!
