Good Friday thoughts

Personally this is an emotional day for me. A day when I am reflecting whether I have lived a life worthy of Him.

As I think and reflect – my mind travels to that scene on the Calvary…

When I gaze upon the cross

I see the thorns on His crown

And the nails in His wrists

I wonder who put Him there

Then I look at my hand

And I see the hammer in my grip

Then God reminded me – nothing I had done made Him love me less and nothing I can do will make Him love me more – His love for me had always been unconditional, had never changed and will never change. He had loved me from the beginning and He will love me to the end.

As I was reading online last night, I stumbled upon this song “You Love Me Anyway” by Sidewalk Prophets and these words captured me:

The question was raised

As my conscience fell

A silly, little lie

It didn’t mean much

But it lingers still

In the corners of my mind

Still you call me to walk

On the edge of this world

To spread my dreams and fly

But the future’s so far

My heart is so frail

I think I’d rather stay inside

But You love me anyway

It’s like nothing in life that I’ve ever known

Yes You love me anyway

With that my spirit was lifted up once again, as my heart warmed to the embrace of His love.

Lord, thank You! Thank You for Your love, thank You for setting me free to soar.
