I am weepy this morning
as I am listening to songs about
JESUS.
A very soft weepy
as I am remembering
when JESUS wasn't a part of my life.
I thought HE was a part
as I BELIEVED that I knew HIM.
But as I look back
I realize that I left HIM
on the cross.
How helpless & hopeless
JESUS
appears on the cross,
even though I knew that
HE didn't remain on the cross.
I think as a child I was afraid of
HIM and HIS FATHER.
I didn't see PEACE.
I didn't see HOPE.
I didn't see JOY.
And that is what it is like
when JESUS is left on a Cross.
I never knew the difference,
until I finally answered GOD'S call
at my lowest moment
when the only place I could go
was to LOOK up.
And when I did
I didn't see JESUS on a cross
because HE came to me
and came into my heart
and LOVED me back together
so that I
experienced
PEACE & HOPE & JOY
that I never saw before
because
HIS PEACE
HIS HOPE
HIS JOY
transcends all understanding
as it is unexplainable.
Maybe that is why the tears this morning.
As I am remembering
the moment I LOOKED up.
"Come and hear, all you who fear GOD;
let me tell you what HE has done for me.
I cried out to HIM with my mouth;
HIS praise was on my tongue.
If I had cherished sin in my heart,
the LORD would not have listened;
but GOD has surely listened
and has heard my prayer.
Praise be to GOD,
who has not rejected my prayer
or withheld HIS love from me!" (Psalm 66:16-20)
For GOD is who HE says HE is
&
JESUS is who GOD says HE is
because
GOD is
