Thursday the day before the crucifixion of Christ.The day where Jesus sat with His 12 closest friends and ate his last meal, knowing one of them there was going to betray Him. It's easy for us to scoff at this prodigal disciple. But how many of us have betrayed Our Lord to the world? We may not have betrayed Him to death on a cross, but how many of us continue to nail Him to that cross daily in the choices we make and the actions we take ? As a woman and a child of God, I can only think about how thankful I am that Jesus died for me when I was still a sinner and His enemy, and how truly grateful I am to Him that He didn't hold my sins against me, and never will. So i bask in that all forgiving embrace of my Lord, and thank Him everyday of my life that He died for me, that I may live for Him eternally ! May you have a blessed Good Friday and a triumphant Easter Sunday ! :)
When I say that 'I am a Christian', I am not shouting that I am clean living;
I'm whispering, 'I was lost, but now I'm found and forgiven.'
When I say, 'I am a Christian', I don't speak of this with pride;
I'm confessing that I stumble and need Christ to be my guide.
When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not trying to be strong;
I'm professing that I'm weak and need His strength to carry on.
When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not bragging of success;
I'm admitting I have failed and need God to clean my mess.
When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not claiming to be perfect;
My flaws are far too visible, but God believes I'm worth it.
When I say 'I am a Christian', I still feel the sting of pain;
I have my share of heartaches, so I call upon His Name.
When I say 'I am a Christian', I'm not holier than thou,
I'm just a simple sinner, who received God's grace somehow.
