How Are You Doing?

How are you doing?

Where are your thoughts?

Does your heart become

heavy and overcome with

sadness?

Are you overwhelmed

with your weaknesses,

sins, and failures?

We all are so weak,

and feeble, and frail.

How frequently we find we fail and fail.

How we see our wrong attitudes,

hear our short words,

and feel our shortcomings,

and sink deep in sorrow.

Sad and sorrowful one,

can you see the Love of

your Father God?

Can you see His great

mercy and His tender compassion?

He knows you are weak,

He made your frame.

He is your potter

and you are His clay.

On the day that He made

you He had a plan to make

a way to take all of your

sin and remove it away.

It was His very own Son

who took all your sin

and bore all His wrath

that you would not live

separated from Him.

He bore all the weight

of your sin on Himself

a weight you were

never able to carry.

Jesus died in your place

and God

is now preparing

a space for youin His home

in the presence of His

beloved Son

and your

Savior Jesus

Christ the Lord.

Jesus paid the penalty.

There is now no debt to pay.

He bore the wrath of God

that He might give to us

in exchangethe righteousness of God.

What a gift.

What a God.

What a Savior.

Do you see the love of God

and your Savior?

Fix your eyes upon Him

and not on your sin.

Be sad no longer.

Wipe your eyes of

all of your sorrow.

There is One who came

to rescue you.

Rejoice in Him.

Thanks be to God that His Spirit

is now within you

and proclaim

this Good News

to all around you.

Be glad!

Rejoice!

Thank God!

This is the Love of God!

Jesus Christ

Came.

Lived.

Died.

Rose again that

we might have life

and life eternal! No longer
