One time on the way home from work I literally sobbed the whole ride. A little dangerous (I know) but I made it home okay. I proceeded to sit in the driveway for another half hour listening to worship music just crying. Why was I having such a meltdown?! Well first, let’s get one thing straight yes I’m a girl and yes sometimes I cry for no reason. But…this time I was crying over the fact that God sent His only son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us. Yes you heard me right, US as in you and me, and because of that our sins are covered. Like can we just take a minute? WOW.
Tears continued to stream down my face and I couldn’t contain it. Seriously the greatest love story EVER. How beautiful, how insanely beautiful. I felt this need to pour out my heart and expose myself to our King in that clearly vulnerable moment of weeping because I was simply astounded at His love for us.
Reading through Romans has most certainly been wrecking my heart lately. Romans 3:23-25 says, “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God, and are justified by his grace as a gift, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus, whom God put forward as a propitiation by his blood, to be received by faith. This was to show God’s righteousness, because in his divine forbearance he had passed over former sins.”
In His DIVINE tolerance he took the hit for all the times we’ve sinned and all the future times we will sin. We are incredibly blessed. In that moment, while sobbing in my car I fully understood how loved we are. We are SAVED because of the love our Father has for each and every one of us. My goodness, my heart. How I long to feel the warmth of my Father’s smile. How thankful I am to be here, sipping my warm coffee, typing away about the infinite love of Christ. Praise Jesus! On that note, I hope everyone has a rocking Friday. May we glorify Him for all our days.
