He chose the nails

YAY! tmr is good friday! GOOD FRIDAY! whheeee.

You were bought, not with something that ruins like gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ - 1 Peter 1:18-20

Our asking "where is God?" is like a fish asking "where is water? or a bird asking "where is air?" God is everywhere. We cannot find a place where God is not. Yet when God entered time and became a man, he who was boundless became bound. Imprisoned in flesh. Restricted in weary-prone muscles. but stop n think about this. Not once did Christ use his supernatural powers for personal comfort. With one word he cld hv transformed the hard earth into a soft bed, but he didnt. With an arch of his brow, he cld hv paralysed the hand of e soldier as he braided the crown of thorns. but he didnt. He refused to defend Himself when blamed for every sin of every slut and sailor since Adam. He chose to go from needing nothing to needing air, food and water like any other man. But the coolest thing about the One who gave up the crowns of heaven for a crown of thorns.. is that He did if for you. Just for you.

we are the beasts. we are by nature children of wrath. can you live without sin for even an hour? Pure thoughts and actions. Worry-free and anger-free living. In the Bible, God the Beauty becomes the beast so that the beast can become the beauty. Jesus changed places with us and put himself under the curse. The sinless One took on the face of a sinner so that we sinners could take on the face of a saint. God's love never fail to amaze me.

He knew the price of those sins was death. He knew the source of those sins was you, and since he clnt bear the thought of eternity without you, he chose the nails. The same hand that stilled the seas stills your guilt. The same hand that calms the storm of the oceans. And as the hands of Jesus opened for the nail, the doors of heaven opened for you. And He conquered the grave during Easter=). He's a living God.. willing to accept anyone who believes in Him.

I occurred to me that it actually means so much to me tt i wna do well. i wna do well in sch to give God the glory. i wna shout out n tell e whole world how God is good n really share this piece of good news with pple i love. i wna tell them how God is full of blessings. but perhaps i've limited the ways i can give God the glory to my own interpretations. well.. no doubt tt doin well by God's grace can glorify His name. bt also.. i too can.. by standin strong in midst of failures, discouragement n setbacks with the given strength frm Him. i rmbed readin abt being abt to see situations in life.. be it good or bad.. as an opportunity to bring Him glory=) and keep Him centered in my everything.

ahhhhh. i feel so loved. hehe.
