Inspired from the events this weekend
It was a past future but 2000 years ago when a king hung on a tree. He hung there for me; against all odds, against his mothers plea. Because when he saw the future he saw me. A fight that was not his, a problem not small. Yet a heart so big took it all on and for me he lived just to pass on that tree. Not nail not wood not thorns or whips not pain not hurt not blood not bruise not slander not hate not abuse not the chance of escape not for gain not for punishment he hung there for me for love for you for our sin for our world for our brokenness for our fears for our lust for our pride for our slander for our hate for our abuse for our gain for our punishment the king of all crucified for the least for all a scandalous tale. In a day that once was a future and once was a present but now is a past that king changed the course of this world.
Now we live in a future to the past and a present so free. So think of your life and every good thing and remember it is a gift from this king, the one we hated the one we despised, yet like only the best love stories he pursued us till we found him and clothed us with his glories. His love a miracle like water and oil mixing as one. It blows my mind to think of that place back in time that my king decided to die for humanity to set us free. It humbles the heart to think of such grace to be given free no purchase. I wish he didn't have to die for me I wish my sin wasn't the cause of death to the king. But thank God yes thank God that history is written and now because of that day which once was the future, present and now is the past I can write this with a confidence that my king had risen my king had won. Now an honor bestowed upon me to serve this king makes me drop to my knees and sing. I cant understand this love for me I cant repay the debt he freely gave me. I cant live up to his standards and so often I still run from this king. I hate this but history is history and the future will come and go but his love for us will never grown old. Its the constant in the equation of life. So let love fill my heart Lord humble me low and not for show all this that I might grow. May his love rest on you, may his love drive you and shine through you. LET LOVE REIGN
