1 John 4:9-10

In this the love of God was made manifest (displayed) where we are concerned: in that God sent His Son, the only begotten or [a]unique [Son], into the world so that we might live through Him.

In this is love: not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation (the atoning sacrifice) for our sins.

Love went to the cross

Love paid the cost, for our freedom today

Love wrapped himself in flesh

Nothing mediocre about His sacrifice,

He gave His all, He gave His best.

Now you and I can rest

Reaping the reward of His great success

He was wounded for our wrongdoing, chastised so that we can now have peace

Giving us absolute release from the bondage of sins snare

Who would ever think, oh, no one would ever dare

Give their life for their enemy

When the call for sacrifice was given, Love rose to the occasion

Love took the fall despite the call to die upon that cross.

Love did not retreat nor surrender to eternal defeat

But rather, gave up the Ghost and in hell He did boast of His power, glory and majesty.

Raised from the dead just like the scriptures said,

To reign with the Father above.

Gracious and full of compassion, today and forever He will be

To ever hear the faintest cry of those seeking to be free.

Free from the curse, no more guilt and shame

Eternal life to all who call on His Name.

 Hebrews 12:2-4

Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.

For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.

Ye have not yet resisted unto blood, striving against sin.

The next time you think that your problems and situations in life are unfair and unbearable, consider Jesus.

Such a wonderful example of true love and endurance. Every time I remember His sacrifice and what He did for us, it brings great joy, humility and an abundance of thankfulness.

Let us honor Him this passover by forgetting our troubles and rejoicing in His triumph!

 2 Corinthians 12:8-9 (amp)

Three times I called upon the Lord and besought [Him] about this and begged that it might depart from me;

But He said to me, My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!

God the Father, God the Son (Jesus) and God the Holy Ghost loves you so very much. I want you to just sit back and let those words saturate your heart and mind today. You are loved and not forgotten, God has a wonderful plan for your life. But in order to go forward in His plan you must trust God with all your heart, lean not to your own understanding, in everything acknowledge Him and let Him direct your life. There may be times in your life when things look hopeless but don’t give up keep believing and trusting in God, He will see you through. Maybe it looks like the dreams and vision God has shown you in times past will never materialize. The only person believing in your God given vision and destiny at this time in your journey may just be you but just keep trusting in God, He will bring it to past. Sometimes the pressures from the kingdom of darkness may seem unbearable but keep on keepin on. Set your face like a flint and refuse to give up, turn back or quit. Quitting is not an option; you must run your race to the end. Whatever pressures you may be facing right now, just know God’s grace is sufficient to those who refuse to give up and quit. No need to struggle with life’s problems, just rest and cast off the stress on God. He gave His best so that you and I could live in the glory.
