There HE was.
And I cried.
I walked into a church of yesteryears,
and there was
JESUS
reaching out HIS hand.
And all I saw was the hole in HIS palm.
I looked up into HIS eyes,
that were so full of KINDNESS
that I immediately wept.
Now I don’t cry at statues,
as I am not a statue person.
But JESUS pierced my heart in that moment,
as if HE was standing right in front of me.
Looking from the hole in HIS hand
and then to HIS KIND eyes,
you could almost here HIM saying,
"COME TO ME".
A personal invitation for one and for all.
HE took the holes for me and for you,
JESUS was drawing me in
with a hole in HIS palm.
SWEET JESUS.
KIND JESUS.
LOVING JESUS.
It was if the world stopped,
for in that moment it did.
It was just
JESUS and I.
I then prayed.
I prayed for my family.
A life changing forever moment tattooed on my heart.
Oh how I wanted to take a picture of HIM,
but no photos were allowed.
But as we were leaving the church,
right by the door
there were cards with
"my" JESUS on it.
Written underneath the photo
were the words,
THE SACRO CURORE DI GESU
(The Sacred heart of JESUS).
And on the back was a prayer,
that I had to translate.
And there were the words,
"A Prayer for Family".
Once again I burst into tears
of how
GOD brought us
to this little church,
in a little town,
to this little statue
so I could
meet
JESUS so deeply,
so personally,
for me to pray for our family.
THE SACRED HEART OF JESUS!
A GOD APPOINTMENT.
Oh GOD is the GOD OF NOW.
Drawing my hubby and I to the church,
to EXPERIENCE the KINDNESS OF JESUS.
THE HUMILY OF JESUS
that reaches out to me
and
to everyone.
You just have to be in the stance to
RECEIVE~
THE STANCE OF HUMILITY~
to lay yourself and your burdens
down at the cross
to ACCEPT JESUS' INVITATION
of
“Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened,
and I will give you rest"
(Matthew 11:28).
Oh HIS INVITATION never gets old,
as it is continually
LIFE GIVING,
For once again,
JESUS renewed my soul
the moment I saw HIM.
For JESUS IS ALWAYS IN THE NOW.
How much more does
JESUS have to do
then to wear holes in HIS PALMS
to tell you~
I LOVE YOU!
Therefore,
JUST COME and
SAY YES
because
HE is your JESUS
and
"MY JESUS"
(listen to the song below)
