He Never Stopped Loving us.
Today used to be a day where I was happy to miss school. A perfect excuse to sleep in and hang out with my friends all day, completely ignorant to the weight of today. But now, my heart is renewed. My heart feels understands. Today, my heart was saved. Today is the day my best friend, the greatest love of my life was tortured, ridiculed, and murdered. Now, I feel the weight.
Jesus has met me at my worst. He has sat patiently with me, taught me new things, overwhelmed me with His love. I have been annoyed with Him, angry with Him. I have sat and cried with Him. The only way I can freely do that is because when He died, He forgave my sins and sent His spirit, (shall we so willingly accept it), to live in us. To talk to us. To love us.
God, forgive the days where I didn’t recognize this gift you’ve given me. I know you don’t judge me for when I looked at easter weekend like a naive child, repeating “He Is Risen” without honestly caring. Thank you for pursuing me so deeply that the fate of my soul revolves around today. My life was reborn today. Thank you that I get to be crucified with Christ and be resurrected. Thank you that you didn’t make life easy. Thank you that I get to suffer alongside Jesus. I’m thankful for anything that makes my life on earth look a little more like His.
Galatians 2:20-21
I have been crucified with Christ, and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not set aside the grace of God, for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died for nothing.
This is a little blog from my journaling this morning that the Lord prompted me to share! Incase you didn’t know I’m home (thanks corona) a couple of months early! I’m always down to do virtual coffee dates and chat with anyone who wants to talk about this whirlwind of a trip I just came off of!
Love,
Syd <3
