My life is not my own, to You I belong I give myself I give myself to You.
All that I am, all that I have belong to you. fearfully and wonderfully made in his image and likeness. Knitted in my motherās womb. He knows my name, even the number of Hairs on my head. Nothing is hidden from Him(Jesus). He knows everything, He sees everything. I was bought for a price, that price meant death on the cross for Him(Jesus),so that I may have an everlasting life. My everlasting life with Jesus only comes by repentance and confession: believing in my heart confessing with my mouth that Jesus Christ is Lord, Savior of the world. Now, I belong to him. I gave him my will, to do the will of the father. A peculiar people we are! A royal priesthood set apart from all rest.
Father, in Jesus name thank you .I really donāt think we think about the magnitude of your love and care for us. It seems like we take You dying on the cross for us for granted.
You were beaten, wounded, scorned, nine inch nails in your hands and feet, a crown of thorns on your head all for us. Thatās more than any of us can bear. None of us would be able to handle such pressure. James and John were asking for something that they didnāt understand. They asked to sit at your right and left, not knowing what they asked for. They could barely understand any of the messages or words you spoke, so how were they going to understand that? They couldnāt, but You(Jesus) knew.
Father let us not take the death of Jesus on the cross lightly. In this moment may we take this time to let it marinate and resonate in our entire being what the death of Christ really means and that it was Your unfailing love that You have for us ,is to live and not die, and have everlasting life through Jesus Christ.
Thank You , Father in Jesus name. Amen!
