Because of today...

Today is what has commanly become known as Good Friday. This confused me for years...everything about this holiday-on the face value, without the understanding of what takes place says its bad-its celebrating a miscarriage of justice and one of the most painful deaths ever experienced by man...
But through my tears, my redeemed soul and His Spirit within me cry out it is Good Friday. Why? Because from today, we can finally understand what Love looks like.

Because from today, we know crimson/scarlet stains make it white as snow,

Because from today we know that we cry out to a God who understands pain.

Because of today we have a God who knows what is to overcome temptation and lead us through,

Because of today we can be secured in the depths of the love of our saviour for us,

Because of today we have know our God understands rejection, ridicule, humiliation, anxiety, fear, worry.

Because of today we understand that God understands.

Because of today we know Jesus can walk with us through anything as he has been through the worst of everything.

Because of today we know God is passionate about us,

Because of today we know God desperately wants a relationship with us,

Because of today every part of my body can be touched by His power-every part of Him was broken for that,

Because of today I now hold my head high because God passionately pursued me,

Because of today I can share the torture story so a tortured world set free,

Because of today I can give up the power struggle for my life,

Because of today there is no curse,

Because of today I am free from punishment,

Because of today I am no longer a slave,

Because of today I see exactly who I am and whose I am,

Because of today the wrath of God was eternity-once and for all satisfied. Because of today-everything was about to change...It was Friday but Sunday's coming..

Because of today...
