Galations 2:19-21

19 For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God. 20 My old self has been crucified with Christ. [fn5] It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. 21 I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.

II Corinthians 10:3-5

"We are human, but we don’t wage war as humans do. 4   We use God’s mighty weapons, not worldly weapons, to knock down the strongholds of human reasoning and to destroy false arguments. 5 We destroy every proud obstacle that keeps people from knowing God. We capture their rebellious thoughts and teach them to obey Christ."

Calling Out

April is crying

Her heart in desperate need

The emptiness inside her

Brings her to her knees

She calls out to the Savior

Yet, still she can’t believe

That all her guilt and anger

Are hanging on that tree

She lives for every moment

When someone fills the need

She can’t give up the pleasure

Of giving in to the heat

Jesus stands with open arms

His blood and tears pour out

He whispers “I love you April

Why do you still doubt?”

April looks to heaven

She falls down on her knees

She gives her soul to the Savior

She finally believes

That all her guilt and anger

Are hanging on that tree.

“For God so loved the World, that He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.” John 3:16 KJV

“If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.”  I John 1:9 KJV

II Corinthians 4:7-10

Even though I have been silent these last few weeks, the Lord has not been silent.  I love how He uses different seasons in our lives to teach us things.  This morning during my quiet time I felt God telling me it was time to start writing again.  I pray everyone reading this is healthy spiritually and physically.  This blog isn't so much about me as it is about Jesus and building a relationship with Him.  I pray that each of you would be blessed today and that God would fill you with Himself.



Here's the passage for the day:
8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
