| A Thousand Cuts |

They said Jesus that you were sliced by razors a thousand times.
11:36 and others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yea, moreover of bonds and imprisonment:
How many of those were for me Lord. How many times did I hurt you? How many times did you feel my pain when others hurt me? Lord. I just can't imagine what you felt Lord for me and oh so many who have it much, much worse.
53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. 53:6 All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all. 53:7 He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth; like a lamb that is led to the slaughter, and like a sheep that before its shearers is dumb, so he opened not his mouth.
and with His stripes we were set free.....
They say the truth will set you free.
8:32 and you will know the truth, and the truth will make you free."
In Jesus Christ name, Amen |

53:5 But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed.
Hours before a hated terrorist, Barrabbas, was to be put to death he was granted a pardon and Jesus took his place. Jesus received what Barrabbas deserved as soldiers who had lost family, friends and comrades vented their hate, anger, and anguish on an innocent man.
The least deserving walked free and the Innocent One died...for a purpose. Looking thru the centuries seeing a young woman trapped and unable to set herself free from that which tormented her, Jesus chose to accept the beating and brutality so that this little one could be made whole and healed. As the cat'o'ninetails laced with metal and bone ripped into His flesh and tore it away as it was pulled back, He endured because He knew you could not alone.
Jesus said the second greatest commandment was to love your neighbor as yourself. Sounds simple but truth is a lot of us do not love ourselves. Until we love ourselves we will never be able to love others as we should. And the biggest hurdle to loving ourselves for many is unforgiveness...of ourselves. One of the most freeing things I ever experienced as a christian was when I learned to forgive myself. It took a very long time because I saw my sin and faults so clearly and there was always that someone in the shadows holding a spotlight on my wrongs and more than willing to tell me about them.
But once I began to forgive myself I began to love myself. When I began to love myself I began to feel the love of GOD flowing thru me to others. If I still measured myself like before I would still be a failure in my eyes. I am not good enough for the standard I had once imagined. But the GOD I love, who loved me, doesn't judge me by my standard but His. My standard was left me incomplete and sick. His standard of mercy and grace makes me whole and heals.
I sure wish I knew how to get songs on here. There is a song I heard a long time ago off a B. J. Thomas cassette, He Gave Me Love (When No One Gave Me A Prayer), called I Need To Be Still And Let GOD Love Me. I did find the lyrics off the net....
I Need To Be Still ( And Let God Love Me )
I need to be stiIl and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me
I need to relax and let God take over
I need to relax and let God take over
He'll take this load off my shoulders
I need to relax and let God take over
When there's trouble all around me
And my soul cries out for rest
When I feel that I'm falling
Even though I've done my best
When decisions get so heavy
And there are answers that I need
I know it's time to just be still and let
God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
I need to be still and let God love me
When this old world starts to push and shove me
I need to be still and let God love me
.....peace.....

He was cut for us (me).
He bled for us (me).
He died for us (me).
His new life is mine!
No more bleeding - no more death - new life in Christ! |
