"But these things I plan for you won't happen right away. Slowly, steadily the time approaches when the vision will be fulfilled. If it seems slow, wait patiently for it will surely take place. It will not be delayed." Habakkuk 2:3

The Day That True Love Died

So I watched The Passion of the Christ tonight. I only saw it once when it came out the first time in theaters. It's not exactly the light-hearted Friday night flick. I'm really glad I watched it though. I definitely needed this reminder that was just so real. When you read about the crucifixion in the Bible it's like 3 lines. This is a 2 hour graphic reminder of the great sacrifice that was made for us. Yes, broken me. Amazing grace. I wish I was home with my family on this holiday, but I'll be ok...

Isaiah 53:5 ~"But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was upon him, and by his wounds we are healed."


Song for today:
Phil Wickham~ True Love (Listen HERE)
Come close listen to the story
About a love more faithful than the morning
The Father gave His only Son just to save us

The earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt the Fathers Broken Heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Search your heart you know you can't deny it
Come on, lose your life just so you can find it
The Father gave His only Son just to save us

The Earth was shaking in the dark
All creation felt The Fathers broken heart
Tears were filling Heaven's Eyes
The day that True Love died, the day that True Love died
When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Now, Jesus is alive

Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Jesus is alive
Oh, He is alive
He rose again

When blood and water hit the ground
Walls we couldn't move came crashing down
We were free and made alive
The day that True Love died, The day that True Love died

Come close listen to the story

Great song! Jesus did have to suffer too much and we definately don't deserve what He did for us but am so thankful he loves us so much. Wish you were here with us too! Miss you so much! Love ya! mom
