Thank You: A Good Friday Letter

“So, go ahead—let everyone know it! Tell the world how he broke through and delivered you from the power of darkness…He has set us free to be his very own! Let everyone give all their praise and thanks to the Lord! Here’s why—he’s better than anyone could ever imagine!”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭107:1-3‬ ‭TPT‬‬

Thank you Father for giving up Your Son for me this day more than 2,000 years ago. What You must have suffered watching Him suffer.

Thank you Father, for You planned for Him to be slain before You laid the world’s foundation. 

You knew what man would choose and still You chose us because you are Divine Love.

‭‭Proverbs‬ ‭31:25‬ ‭NLT‬‬

Fear Not! Love Has Won!

“Therefore, since we have been justified [that is, acquitted of sin, declared blameless before God] by faith, [let us grasp the fact that] we have peace with God [and the joy of reconciliation with Him] through our Lord Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed).”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭5:1‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Every fear we have ultimately has to do with the fear of death. But until you have heard the good news of the gospel of Jesus Christ and to the extent that you believe it and put your trust in Him, you will not be able to let His perfect love cast out that fear and root you in His peace.

Behold THE Beauty of Christmas

“And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full of grace and truth.”
‭‭John‬ ‭1:14‬ ‭NKJV

They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder…So what exactly are you beholding?

Beautiful things are all around us. Yet, I can’t help but wonder if maybe we miss true beauty most of the time. Perhaps what is most lovely is passed by altogether because we haven’t truly seen the Altogether Lovely One. (Song of Songs 5:16).
