His Abiding Love
• Mar. 20, 2007 - He Thought of ME!!
I was feeling discouraged yesterday. Seemed as if nothing could go right. I couldn't do anything right. Then I was hit with an old temptation, and instead of fleeing temptation, I gave in :( . I felt miserable all evening, like I was the most awful sinner alive. I beat myself up very very well.
Before I went to bed I began to pray, but of course I wasn't in tune with the Lord. Suddenly I just broke and began crying out to God to forgive me for the sin I'd committed. I remember saying "Lord, I don't know how you can keep forgiving me, when I keep failing over and over. I cannot do anything right." and He said to my heart "Daughter, when I was there on that cross, I thought of you. I held you in my mind's eye and I saw every sin you'll ever committ. I thought of you, and I loved you so much, that I died for you so that your sins could be forgiven every time. Every time you ask me for forgiveness, my blood covers that sin. I loved you then daughter, and I love you now. Trust in my forgiveness, and let me have control once again. And remember daughter, I thought of you."
WOW. Jesus Christ, Almighty God in flesh, thought of ME. ME-- while he was hanging on that cross in agony, dying even, he thought of me. Praise God for His goodness, his mercy and his grace. Praise God for forgiveness and for his everlasting love for me!!
It's hard to comprehend that Jesus really thought of me personally, but He did. I have no doubt that He thought of me, and every sin I ever will commit, ever have committed, and even though he saw how black my heart was, how sinful my flesh was, he died for me anyway. He loved me too much to leave me in my sins.
Here's something for you, my dear sisters today: He thought of YOU too!!
In Christ, Samantha |
