And from that moment forward – Johnny always
battled the feelings that no matter how hard he tried – he simply
wasn’t ever going to be good enough.

If you only had one song to sing – one message to
give – what would that song – what would that life message be?

What’s your life song?
(Acts 20:24) “I consider my life worth nothing to me,
if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given
me—the task of testifying to the Gospel of God’s grace”

(Ephesians 2:3-7) “All of us also lived among them at
one time, gratifying the cravings of our sinful nature and following its
desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature objects of wrath. But
because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with
Christ even when we were dead in transgressions--it is by grace you have been
saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly
realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the
incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ
Jesus.”
(Ephesians 2:8-10) “For it is by grace you have been
saved, through faith--and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God-- not
by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God's workmanship, created in
Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to
do.”
(1 Peter 1:3-4) “Praise be to the God and Father of
our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, and into an
inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in heaven for
you.”
But if he had it to do all over again, Johnny Cash knows
for certain that he would live out of the hope he had in Jesus Christ.
