My Father created me
A Good Father, that is He He set my will to free So I can walk in victory The Lamb of God I see He shed His blood for me On that cross at Calvary So I can walk in victory The Holy Spirit lives in me He guides and lets me see The joy with which to be Now I'm walking in victory

Taking on our sin and shame
Carrying a burden that was not His own All the while being innocent and pure. Experiencing our human condition Our simple joys and our happiness, Friendship and love And, ultimately our sadness, loneliness, and misery. Before His death He experienced betrayal, abandonment, and condemnation. He felt and went through everything any of us could ever go through. And, this gave Him more ammunition to love us so. And, more reason to turn His back on us and allow us to suffer and die in shame alone. But, rather than turn His back on us, He embraced us. He loved us. He wept for us. He shed His blood for us. He died for us. He took our punishment, our sins, and our shame and bore it on His shoulders. He carried all of it up Golgotha’s hill, while being spit on, mocked, and called names. He bore the collective weight of all our burdens, sin, and shame. This is what true love is. Thank you, Jesus For loving us so much. Thank you, Lord

There is beauty in the living and in finding the true meaning for yourself. There is beauty in the living and in the day-to-day struggles. There is beauty in the living and in the unexpected, sudden joys. There is beauty in the living and in the occasional horrors, and deep ugly pits. There is beauty in the living and in learning to recognize the unending graces and ceaseless blessings. There is beauty in the living and in learning to find little nuggets of beauty in your life, by simply opening your eyes to them. There is beauty in the living and in experiencing God’s true love for you. There is beauty in the living and in the realization that God is always with you and for you. There is beauty in the living and in the journey itself. There is beauty in the living and in figuring it all out. |
