Hope everyone has a great day and knows that we can have Grace and salvation through Jesus’ sacrifice on the cross.

Let us remember that Jesus was rejected by the "system" of the world and He was a man of sorrows, going obediently to the cross. He knows what it feels like to be betrayed, rejected, hurt, beat, abused and every other thing that we as humans could experience on this earth.

I found this excerpt from an article on the internet from the podcast, "Desiring God" and it really spoke to me so I wanted to share with my FB friends.

The gravest problem in my life, and in yours, isn’t our sorrows, great as they may be. Our greatest peril is our own sin. However terrible your griefs, the gravest danger to your soul is not how anyone else has treated you, or how unfortunate are your circumstances, or how weary and tired you’ve become. Your gravest problem, like mine, is how you have treated God, and that his righteous, omnipotent wrath stands against us in our sin.

Which is why, even in the descending darkness of Maundy Thursday, a bright ray of hope shines out. Jesus not only grieves in the garden as our priest, but he dies tomorrow as our propitiation. He sympathizes with our many sorrows, and he saves us utterly from our own sins through his atoning sacrifice. He draws near, and with his own wounds he heals ours (Isaiah 53:5), some of them in this life, and all of them in the life to come.

The one who once prayed with loud cries and tears in Gethsemane, now prays for us with glorified sympathy, on the very throne of heaven.

So, bring your griefs to Gethsemane. Bring your own loud cries and tears. Bring your sorrows. And bring your sins — and a prayer of childlike faith for his rescue. Draw near to this throne, where now sits your Great High Priest, ready to show mercy and give grace to help in your time of need.

I know tomorrow is Valentine's Day but I am going to post this now before I go to bed. This verse has been going through my mind all day in reference to the LOVE holiday. Remember, Jesus loves you, no matter what you have done. All you have to do is respond to HIS love and His gift of salvation. If you come to Him, you will never be the same. Human love will always be flawed and will let you down in some way or another, but God is LOVE so He loves more than any other. Happy Valentine's Day, folks!

Stayed tuned as more original songs will be posted to Youtube and Spotify and other streaming sites THIS Spring. Although Melanie loves Southern Gospel we will have a potpourri of country pop, "jazzy pop," acoustic pop rock and modern praise and worship. Just the rainbow of colors that makes up Melanie and her musical style.
