Luke 7:47 “Therefore I tell you, her sins, which are many, are forgiven — for she loved much. But he who is forgiven little, loves little.”
With Stripes into Wholeness!
Silent pains
are both unheard
and unvetted.
Yet HE hears each
unspoken and
heartbroken cry.
Just to know this
is bliss; such brings
Joy to the soul.
So to CHRIST give
your fractures because
HIS stripes — heal!
As HIServant eternally whole because HE chose to be broken for my offenses,
Whitney
Devotional: 1 Peter 2:24 “HE HIMSELF bore our sins in HIS body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By HIS wounds you have been healed!”
Measuring our own debt of sin can be very therapeutic.
Meaning: The one who has been forgiven much loves much.
But many feel contrary to Luke 7:47 meaning, “I’m good enough”, “I haven’t done anything that bad” and so on.
Such are self deceptions and delusions to put it mildly.
But the one who well knows the depths of the pits they’ve been spared from…loves the Cross more than most.
So…do we know and acknowledge how much HE truly paid for us — personally?
Rhetorically submitted to you but worthy of daily self reflection.
HIS healing cannot be equaled nor mimicked. What HE does has no copycat!
So let us lift our hearts and hands without any delay.
Yes! With our eyes streaming with immense gratitude for HIS Finished work in our place…for HIS stripes have made us whole!
So let us endlessly praise HIS Holy NAME!!
Amen and amen!
