SHOULD HAVE
COULD HAVE
WOULD HAVE
keeps you stuck in the PAST
filled with REGRETS.
But WHAT IF
your
SHOULD HAVE
COULD HAVE
WOULD HAVE
is a SOMEONE
who has been knocking on your heart,
yet
ONCE UPON A TIME
you answered HIS knock
yet right now
you don't know where HE is
because you don't feel HIM
or because your circumstances appear to be without HIM.
Because if HE was REAL
why would you feel like HE didn't exist?
But what if your
SHOULD HAVE
COULD HAVE
WOULD HAVE
is your opportunity
right this moment
to be a thing of the PAST
because
JESUS is HERE.
JESUS is REAL
because
ONCE UPON A TIME
HE came from RICHES to wear RAGS
so HE WOULD clothe you with HIS RICHES
just because HE COULD
and not because HE SHOULD
but because of HIS GRACE
that is nothing that we
SHOULD HAVE
been given
and
COULD HAVE
been given
and
WOULD HAVE
been given~
unless
GOD BELIEVED
that you
SHOULD RECEIVE JESUS
because
HE COULD HAVE not sent HIM
and then you
WOULD HAVE never been able to
be clothed with
HIS PEACE
HIS JOY
HIS LOVE
that wraps you
with
HOPE
that covers every
SHOULD HAVE
COULD HAVE
WOULD HAVE
that would just be a bunch of REGRETS.
Because
a life without JESUS is a life without.
"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.
This inheritance is kept in heaven for you" (I Peter 1:1-3)
Because WHAT IF GOD said,
"I SHOULD NOT HAVE created you or me,
because look at what they did, or are doing or will do?"
But instead
HE gave us JESUS.
Therefore all
SHOULD HAVES
COULD HAVES
&
WOULD HAVES
are all covered
IN JESUS
from the past, in the present and forever in the future.
So let's take this moment, and the next moment and the next and the next....
and
invite JESUS into all
the hard empty places and spaces in our hearts
so that
HE IS never a
"WHAT IF" (listen to the song below)
