The Weight of My Sin

Good Friday. Ordinarily I would be saying "Good! It's Friday!" but today I say-not so much! Today represents a victorious Friday!

It is good for me and you, yes, but what about Jesus?

I can't imagine carrying the weight of the sin of the entire world on my shoulders.  Often I have difficulty carrying the weight of MY sin.  But then I remember that I don't have to.

He did that for me a long time ago. 

So why would He?  Why did He?  There is only one reason.............

John 3:16  For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.

I want to share some lyrics of songs from Laura Story that has simply touched my heart lately from her song Grace:

At times I may grow weak
And feel a bit discouraged
Knowing that someone somewhere
Would do a better job


For who am I to serve You
I know I don't deserve You
But that's the part that burns in my heart
And keeps me hanging on


I ask You how many times will You pick me up
When I keep on letting You down
And each time I will fall short of Your glory


How far will forgiveness abound
And YOU answer, "My child I love you,
and as long as your seeking My face, you'll
walk in the power of My daily sufficient Grace."


As I walk with You I'm learning
What Your grace really means


The price that I could never pay
Was paid at Calvary


So instead of trying to repay you
I'm learning to simply obey You


By giving up my life to You
For all that You've given to me


I so do not live up to what I should and I am ashamed that I don't.  I am thankful that He chose me and loves me and that He died for me inspite of who I am and am not. 

I thank You Jesus.  I don't understand it and I can't repay you for it, but I do accept it.  I remember You this "Six Hours One Friday" so long ago. 

Satan's been defeated.................Jesus Is Alive!!!!!!
