There I was, soiled with dirt all over
I stunk so much, I was so ashamed
Everyone looked at me with disdain
No one even came near to help
Since no one would help, and I am incapacitated
I walked around feeling for myself and expecting death to come
I was so caught up in my self-pity and shame
I didn’t know that a warm hand had wrapped around me
I noticed a sort of coolness, then I looked up to see who it was
I saw a man shining brightly and very gloriously
However he had a stain on His palms when He turned it up
He so smiled at me, I became lost in His smile
I was lost in His smile so much that I didn’t notice those who disdained me
For I felt warm and at peace
Then I asked Him, “who are you?”
He replied me saying “I am Jesus who has come to take away your shame”
Shocked, I asked “why would you ever do that?”
“For this reason I suffered, bled and died to save you from shame”, He replied.
“Why me?”, I asked, He replied and said,
“Because I love you and you have found Grace in my sight”
I looked upon my undeserving state, and the Glorious shining man
I became humbled by His Love towards me
I knelt before Him with so much tears in my eyes
I said “Thank you Jesus for your Grace and Love”
“God has shown us how very kind he is. He has shown us that, because he came to save all people.” (Titus 2:11)
Jesus Christ came to take away the guilt of sin and shame, to deliver you from the stronghold of sin and to give to you life in abundance.
Hear what the Master has to say, “Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you’ll recover your life. I’ll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won’t lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you’ll learn to live freely and lightly.” (Matthew 11:28-30 MSG)
Receive that Grace today by choosing to believe in Him (Jesus) who was sent by God.
God loves you and has commended His love for you by sending His Son for you, embrace that love and continue therein.
Shalom!!!
