Good Friday for a Sinner Like Me

 Good Friday for a Sinner Like Me

Each year, Good Friday is celebrated as the day that Jesus was crucified on the cross, the day the Righteous One died for the sin of all humans and offered up His precious blood to atone (propitiate, reconcile, answer) for our sins. On this day, let us reflect on what God has done for us--the overflowing love He lavishes on us freely, the forgiveness He gives though none deserve it and the mercy of His salvation. For without it, we will certainly perish.
We don't deserve his mercy, but He gives it to us freely!
Wherever you are in your walk with God, whether you are on fire, or joyous, or weary, or doubting, or hurting, or in lack, or sick, you can go back to the Word of God. Today, be encouraged with the biblical word declaring the goodness and faithfulness He has displayed from the beginning and be assured that He will indeed finish His work in your life.
Remember, it all begins with the cross.
“...who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise.” —Mark 10:34


PRAYER
Lord, thank you for your loving and tender mercy on us. We are sinners, but the price was paid with Jesus's death. His spotless blood washes away the worse of transgressions. We don't deserve it, yet it's given to us freely. How many times do I feel guilty and wish I could pay for the gift, but you tell us to lay down our old like and take up a new life with Christ. Ask for forgiveness of our sins and you will forgive and forget. As I continue on this journey, I will let today's words sink in as I value my freedom in Christ from the sins that could separate us. Thank you for giving your Son to us so that we may have a life forever in your presence. In Jesus Mighty Name we pray, Amen.
We are better together.
Have a blessed day, Kimala

Wading through Grief

  Wading through Grief The nature of grief seems to spill into other areas of our lives while we attempt to navigate it's shores. We can begin to believe we got a better handle on it, creating boundaries to keep it tucked inside, but it can spread quickly and overtake the lines we draw in the sand. So true. As you stand on its shores, can you see what's ahead? Look for the smallest sparkle of light. God knows your heart. He knows what pains you deeply. He sees you long for what and who you miss so dearly. Recognize your desire to replace the hole that was left inside of you. Fill it with God's goodness and let His love wash over any areas that have left you feeling high and dry. What you thirst for, He has for you. "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds."--Psalm 147:3 Soon, you will recognize that grief was a gift He provided to help you swim to the next new shore. New territory can spring forth new beginnings. Yes, it will look and feel different. ...

Our Body is a Temple

  KIMALA'S CORNER Our Body is a Temple Consider this: what have you done for yourself lately regarding your physical self care? Do you actively engage in exercise or strenuous activity to get it moving and burning excess calories? Do you conciously choose healthy eating options and promote good healthcare? Do you make regular appointments for dental and physician routine check ups? Do you take care of your outward appearance regarding your hair, face, skin, nails, etc? How about mental self care? Do you only intake that which would do you well, pondering, contemplating and considering your mental thoughts? Do you carefully screen what you watch, listen to and read? Do you take opportunity to unplug and unwind by resting yourself? How about spiritual self care? Can you consider your time each day with the Lord, reading his word, watching Christian movies, listening to spiritual leaders on Podcast and radio? Are you involved with a ministry or bible study with your church? Are you he...

Exceeding Love

Image
Exceeding Love We cannot comprehend it. This kind of unconditional love. The outpouring from a Savior who would give anything for us--longing to have relationship with you and I. No man or woman walking this Earth can compare or even come close to loving you the way that Jesus does. No one. Today, dig deep inside to fill the hurt, anger, pain, upset, anxiousness, worry or disappointment with the One True God. His love is exceeding--His love is healing. Allow yourself to be filled to measure--what does that mean exactly? Well, in my mind, it means to the tippy top!!!! He loves you that much. "and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God."--Ephesians 3:19 We are better together when we are Splashed in the Spirit.
