He loves you more than you ever know.

He exchanged the limitless condition of heaven for your severe limits on earth.

He was a Royal Son you are a total mess.

He deprived himself of honor just to be with the powerless you.

He left heaven for you to be a living testament on earth.

He came as the Holy of Holies just for you the sinful of sinners.

He was the King of Kings and made friends with you a nobody.

He was righteous yet owned every single sin you have.

He lived a blameless life as for your example.

He was not a sinner, you were.

He had no single sin but you have a few obvious and a thousand hidden.

He changed many lives including your undesirable life.

He was the truth and you were the lie.

He was misunderstood for you to understand.

He was placed in tragedy for you to triumph.

He was rejected for you to be accepted.

He was betrayed for you to learn to trust Him.

He was condemned for you to be free.

He was never found guilty, are you not? For you not to be guilty.

He was convicted for you to be pardoned.

He was disgraced for you to have more grace.

He was painfully been pricked by the thorns, which are the fruits of your stubbornness.

He was stripped of clothes for you to wear the robe righteousness.

He was spat on the face, which you always do to Him.

He was beaten and mocked for your sake.

He carried a cross, which is yours.

He passed the rugged and notorious road for you to have a firm conviction.

He allowed the nails to pierce him for you to never feel how painful it was.

He felt the rusty nails for you to be spared from suffer.

He bled Blood for you to be washed and cleansed.

He took the spear for you because you think you don’t deserve it.

He suffered thirst for you to know that the answer is not water but the Truth.

He accepted every lashes He never deserved all because He cared for you.

He endured shame all because He knows you cannot take it.

He refused to defend himself to be a light for you.

He was crucified in your place.

He bore your dark side.

He overlooked your mistakes for you to look up to Him.

He does not deserve your suffering but still he took it from you.

He prayed and bridged for you to God the Father.

He has to go through pain, sorrow and death to give you hope.

He died for you to live.

He rose from the dead for you to have hope and joy.

He prepared a place for you to stay forever with Him.

He will come back for the second time to bring you home, you who are homeless.

He will surely come because He promised.

He is your Savior, Redeemer and Friend.

He is JESUS.

Heart

I cherish darling sins.

I care for worldliness rather than spiritual matters.

I do not repent, ask and pray for forgiveness from God.

I let Satan rule over me rather than Christ Jesus.

In My Church

I bring my gossip, criticism, jokes and foolishness.

I steal somebody else’s attention from the divine message delivered.

I do not contribute to the solemnity of the worship.

I deprive others of my talent and ministry for God’s cause.

In My Home

I do not set an example as a living testament to God’s love.

I do not mold my household towards God’s will and commandments

I bring home idols that lessen my family’s love for God.

I do not care  for my neighbor.

In My Classroom

I mismanage my studies at the expense of my better future.

I ignore the wisdom shared by my teachers.

I disregard the principles of Christian education.

I do not use my best abilities for God’s glory.

In My Workplace

I selfishly insist my own ways and ideas.

I secretly manipulate transactions for my own benefit.

I do not work hard for the best of my department.

I do not give the best service or product to my clients.

In My Community

I do not contribute to spiritual and moral revival.

I do not cooperate for unity, peace and prosperity.

I do not live up to the truth and faith I profess.

I delay what I can change NOW.
