Good Friday..What does it mean to you?

So this week as I was trying to focus my mind on the importance of Holy Week and what all it brings. I found myself being reluctant of taking the time to actually ponder what it means to me and actually being aware of the signifiance of the events that took place years ago. Last night it all changed for me though as I was watching this video on YouTube. It's the song Lead Me to the Cross. By the end I was in tears and had a hard time watching it for there were parts that were just to much. For me it made my reason for believing in Jesus Christ is my saviour so much stronger and defined. What he has done for me and you is beyond anything I can wrap my head around. Because the video is so realistic and humbling for me that's what made it so much more powerful. I'd encourage you to watch it but I will just warn you it is very gruesome at times.

Lyrics to How Deep the Father's Love for Us..
How deep the Father's love for us,

How vast beyond all measure

That He should give His only Son

To make a wretch His treasure

How great the pain of searing loss,

The Father turns His face away

As wounds which mar the chosen One,

Bring many sons to glory

Behold the Man upon a cross,

My sin upon His shoulders

Ashamed I hear my mocing voice,

Call out among the scoffers

It was my sin that helf Him there

Until it was accomplished

His dying breath has brought me life

I know that it is finished

I will not boast in anything

No gifts, no power, no wisdom

But I will boast inJesus Christ

His death and resurrection

Why should I gain from His reward?

I cannot give an answer

But this I know with all my heart

His wounds have paid my ransom



We Live in a World that Is Deeply Broken....

I don't know about you but I feel sometimes as if our world is falling apart. So many people in this world are left alone helpless, hurt, abandoned, and clueless. Some not knowing that there is hope in the midst of the darkness. I feel helpless like there is nothing I can do, but when I come to that point I know one thing for sure I can do is pray. I have experienced prayer to be very powerful in my life. I have no doubt that God hears us. So please Join me in this prayer for God's people in our world who need Him and all the many things He can provide.

Isaiah 30:19

God we also want to be aware of all that you have done already. So simply but deeply said. Thank You. 

Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
the Father of compassion and the God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our troubles,
so that we can comfort those in any trouble
with the comfort we ourselves have received from God. 

2 Corinthians 1:3-4

Amen.
