-The true and incredible testimony of a mother who lost her child shortly after birth-
"The image of Jesus being mocked while he bled and suffered was unbearable today. More so than any other time I have read the story. His words, His shame, His pain. The fact that as I read those words, I am reminded that He knew my baby while He hung. He knew how many breaths she would have, how many tears I would cry for her, how I will run to her in heaven and rejoice that she doesn't need her lungs there anyway because she is perfect. He knew these words before I typed them. His love is deeper than I can fathom. If you want to feel the Holy Spirit fill you, try something one day. Maybe even today if you can make the time. Start by praying for God to reveal Himself in a new way to you, and then read through these words of agony and death, and imagine your face as what He saw. You were worth it. He still believes that. I hope you do too. When God turned away from His Son, and darkness crept across Calvary, He knew your face, your heart, your hurts. They are forever hidden within His wounds."
YOU ARE MY KING-
I'm forgiven, because You were forsaken,
I'm accepted, You were condemned;
I'm alive and well Your Spirit is within me
Because You died and rose again!
Amazing love how can it be,
That You my King would die for me?
Amazing love I know it's true,
And it's my joy to honor you...
In all I do, I honor You.
Amazing love how can it be,
That You my King would die for me?
Amazing love I know it's true,
and it's my joy to honor you...
You are my King, You are my King.
Jesus, You are my King! Jesus, You are my King!

I loce the words to that song! As I read it I was struck by the description of suffering combined with the reference to king. How often do you hear of a king that suffers for his subjects? Usually it works the exact opposite. It reminds me of the message Pastor Walters gave from Hebrews. "Consider Christ, who endured such contradiction of sinners against himself and bore the suffering, despising the shame. . ." I know that's not word perfect, but this isn't quizzing and you get the gist. I can't imagine the love it took for Christ to not only endure the ridicule from sinners on the cross (knowing full well that he created them and could destroy them with a single word) but then to pray that God would forgive them?!?!? That is amazing love and hallelujah for it!!!
