It's obviously beautiful to look at, and I'm already convinced that I'll be making something like this to hang in my house somewhere.
But it also speaks to my soul. It's a line from Come Thou Fount (please listen to the video below if you've never heard it), which is one of my top five favorite praise and worship songs. I start to cry every single time I hear it at the exact same line.
Oh to grace, how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be.
Let Thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to Thee.
Prone to wander, Lord I feel it -- prone to leave the God I love.
Here's my heart, Lord, take and seal it -- seal it for Thy courts above.
I picture my Lord, faithful as ever, watching me make the same mistakes, commit the same sins over and over again. I picture Him watching my heart wander, and it just shatters me. But then I remember that I'm no longer a prisoner to my sin because Jesus paid it all. I may be prone to wander, but He's always waiting for me to return. All to Him I owe.

Ryan, I nearly cried when I read this post. Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing is hands-down my favorite hymn and that line is one of my favorites. Thank you, thank you for this post.
