April Special Feature
For this month’s Special Feature post, (offered every last Thursday of the month), I would like to share an answer to a question & a poem for reflection. I hope they point you to Jesus Christ as the source of your hope & love & peace & joy & strength & grace, offered freely through faith in Him.
Only He can fully satisfy that longing in your soul that can’t seem to be quenched. Love you, Lovely!
He Really Is
Is God’s grace really enough?
One Word: Yes.
Your Great Love (How Greatly Jesus Loves Us)
It makes no sense…
Your great love for me.
How can it be…
That a sinner like me
Can be counted worthy
Of a love like Yours?
Not of my own merit
Not of my own goodness
Not of my own efforts
Nothing can earn Your love.
You offer it freely
No strings attached
You loved me before birth
And You will love me forevermore
You found me in the darkness,
Lost, scared, & alone,
But You cleared out the fog
And Your love lit up my life.
When all hope felt lost,
When I had all but given up,
You wrapped me in Your love
And Your love filled up my soul
Each day, a new chance,
Every prayer of faith…
Every breath of praise…
To know Your great love for me.
You saw my past
You knew my sin
And yet Your grace still saved me
Through Your endless love for me
Guilt & shame I deserved
Hell called me to death
But You paid my debt
And Your love, it reconciled
And that same love,
You offer freely to all
That same great love
That You show with Your grace
A prayer away…
You wait to wash our sin away
A simple prayer of faith in You
For infinite grace wrapped up in Your great love for us
Your love for us…
It makes no sense.
But Lord, how grateful I am
For Your great love.
I will sing it from the rooftops.
I will share it with all I know.
The great love You have for me,
You have for all the world around.
Big or small, short or tall,
Every color shade imaginable…
Wealthy or poor, rebellious or kind,
You love us all just the same.
*Grace is waiting for you
Will you accept it in faith?
Jesus is waiting with grace
To show you His great love for you, too!*
