Someone sent this to me an my spirit so agrees! Good Morning
Gal.5:22
But the fruit of the Spirit is Love, Joy, Peace, Longsuffering, Gentleness, Goodness, Faith,
Meekness, TEMPERANCE:
I am so amazed that, God with His infinite wisdom, All knowing knowledge, and unmatched power, Loves a wretch like me!! Yes I know we are heirs to the King, a royal priest hood, children of the most High, and the very ones Jesus died for. But I know me.. I know when my flesh is challenged, how it rises to the occasion in my defense, unless I immediately crucify it. I know where my weaknesses lay, and how easy it is to slip and slide down a path that only leads to pain, suffering, and loss. I was bought with a "High Price", and I don't think God got a bargain. Why does, The Creator, of everything care about a worm like me? Why did The Son of The Almighty, allow Himself to be scourged and beaten, when I was the one holding the whip?? Why did Jesus say nothing, but only had compassion, when I jammed the crown of thorns on His head, while mocking and taunting Him? Why did JESUS suffer such an Unbelievable, Excruciating Death for me, when I was the one who nailed Him to the Cross?? Why did Jesus allow me the privilege, to watch Him die, when I was casting lots for His Robe?? The Two Words to answer this, for our redemption, are "GOD'S LOVE"!! So the value that we ALL must have, is a value worth dying for. Even though the devil tells me, I am nothing and tries to continually deceive me into listening to his lies, I need to keep focused on, what the cost was, to redeem me. It is imperative for me to constantly remind my self,of the price, my Father paid, for the Eternal Salvation that I now have in Him. Luke 9:23,24 Jesus said "...IF any man/woman will come after me, let him DENY himself, and Taking up his cross "DAILY," and follow me." The vital, key word here, is "DAILY". We have to Daily remind ourselves of The Cost of The Cross!! Amen? Amen!
