I loved it ALL, but this is what touched me the most:<br /><br />And then Jesus.<br />Gave Himself<br />to be humiliated, mocked, beaten and beaten and beaten,<br />spit on, clothes ripped off and strung up on nails,<br />and bleed out.<br /><br />For the person I was in my worst moments,<br />that I was feeling like despising,<br />but that I can have compassion for instead.<br /><br />Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, for allowing God to speak through you and to my heart this morning!<br />LOVE, HuGGs, and many blessings to you sweet sister,<br />DebiHeartwideopenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05960012544570566313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3668486406499095078.post-77088793782374404092013-04-02T18:06:58.326-06:002013-04-02T18:06:58.326-06:00"...if I can't see it for me, I won't..."...if I can't see it for me, I won't see it for others." Power filled words. I have the same relationship with my old journals, don't want to have ever been that person, so filled with herself, so willful and so wrong!! But even then I knew God loved me. It was in the aftermath that my shame made me believe that I had lost that love. You have given me so much to think about in this post and I thought you should know it. God bless Junelle, and Christy, and all us Art of Spring girls who have much to be grateful for in having been led to each other, to sketch and paint in joy together!Marysu Bennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05477054929851450994noreply@blogger.com
