True Strength, True LOVE, True Endurance!

Let us meditate on how we may fret, worry or pity ourselves when we anticipate a challenge or a conflict.  

When we do, we should remember that JESUS OUR LORD knew exactly what was going to happen to HIM and what HE must endure for our redemption.  In the garden, HE meditated upon it.  HE knew that HE would be stripped, beaten to the bone, humiliated, and that spikes would be driven through HIS wrists and feet and that HE would hang until death.  And before HIS last breath, HE asked the FATHER to forgive those that did it.  

HE decided after the fall of man that HE would endure this punishment and death  for HIS creation and for our redemption.  Undeniable LOVE for us revealed.  Is there any question left regarding HIS Love for us??  

HE made HIS mind up that HE would endure with strength and Love for our redemption.  HE took the punishment for our forgiveness of sin, our healing and our restoration of authority as an adopted child of GOD and forgave those who came against HIM. 

So when we feel pity for ourselves or selfish thoughts , let us remember HIS example.  It was a great price paid for our redemption.  An example of LOVE and forgiveness.   

So when we are tested.  Don’t be a whimp.  Do what is right in HIS sight, give Praise to our GOD, forgive as HE forgave, Stand as a blood bought child of the KING.

We have more to be thankful for than our minds can grasp.  

DON’T DENY HIS LOVE FOR US!

The price paid for us is beyond our imaginations.

Thank YOU JESUS, for YOU ARE the True Redeemer, Creator, SON of the ALMIGHTY, Lion of Judah, the Lamb of GOD, King of Kings and Prince of Peace.  I thank YOU LORD for the LOVE that YOU have for everyone.

I pray that all would come to the knowledge of YOUR LOVE and Victory that YOU bought for us.  In JESUS NAME. AMEN. 

“Who has believed what he has heard from us? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For he grew up before him like a young plant, and like a root out of dry ground; he had no form or majesty that we should look at him, and no beauty that we should desire him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief; and as one from whom men hide their faces he was despised, and we esteemed him not. Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed. All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned—every one—to his own way; and the Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all. He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is silent, so he opened not his mouth. By oppression and judgment he was taken away; and as for his generation, who considered that he was cut off out of the land of the living, stricken for the transgression of my people? And they made his grave with the wicked and with a rich man in his death, although he had done no violence, and there was no deceit in his mouth. Yet it was the will of the Lord to crush him; he has put him to grief; when his soul makes an offering for guilt, he shall see his offspring; he shall prolong his days; the will of the Lord shall prosper in his hand. Out of the anguish of his soul he shall see and be satisfied; by his knowledge shall the righteous one, my servant, make many to be accounted righteous, and he shall bear their iniquities. Therefore I will divide him a portion with the many, and he shall divide the spoil with the strong, because he poured out his soul to death and was numbered with the transgressors; yet he bore the sin of many, and makes intercession for the transgressors.”     Isaiah 53:1‭-‬12 ESV
