~~~JESUS OUR SAVIOR GAVE IT ALL~~~

Written by: Becky Morales and inspired by Jesus 4-2-2012

Brothers and Sisters, today I am touched to write about Jesus giving His life on the cross so that our sins may be forgiven. I think of all that He went through and all that He suffered all because He loves us. He gave His life so that our sins would be forgiven. & Yet even today we still crucify Him when we sin. We all fall short of God’s glory, we all need strength to overcome the things that are not pleasing to God. If you really think about it, Jesus did not think twice when He allowed all the pain, the mocking, the beatings, and humiliations that He was put through all because He came so that we could have life and be forgiven of our sins through His death.

Matthew: 27: 22-31 22Pilate saith unto them, What shall I do then with Jesus which is called Christ? They all say unto him, Let him be crucified.
23And the governor said, Why, what evil hath he done? But they cried out the more, saying, Let him be crucified.
24When Pilate saw that he could prevail nothing, but that rather a tumult was made, he took water, and washed his hands before the multitude, saying, I am innocent of the blood of this just person: see ye to it.
25Then answered all the people, and said, His blood be on us, and on our children.
26Then released he Barabbas unto them: and when he had scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
27Then the soldiers of the governor took Jesus into the common hall, and gathered unto him the whole band of soldiers.
28And they stripped him, and put on him a scarlet robe.
29And when they had platted a crown of thorns, they put it upon his head, and a reed in his right hand: and they bowed the knee before him, and mocked him, saying, Hail, King of the Jews!
30And they spit upon him, and took the reed, and smote him on the head.
31And after that they had mocked him, they took the robe off from him, and put his own raiment on him, and led him away to crucify him.

What a wonderful Savior we serve. Today I am reminded that we must let go of the sins that bind us and separate us from God’s will in our life. I realize that each day is a constant battle against the devil, the devil will always try to confuse us, to lead us astray, but if we put the full armor of God and trust fully in Him and in His will to be done in our life we can overcome our battles and temptations, knowing that God will see us through. Are you struggling with a temptation or a weakness today? I’m here to tell you that God is waiting to help you let go of whatever is keeping you in bondage. God wants to deliver you from Your weaknesses. He wants to lead you and guide you and only wants what is best for us. Each day let us give thanks to Our Precious Savior Jesus for He has set us free and only desires that we be obedient and follow Him. Brothers and sisters we can never go wrong if we give ourselves completely to Jesus! Amen~~~

JAMES 1 VERSES 13-18"When tempted, no one should say, "God is tempting me." For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each one is tempted when, by his own evil desire, he is dragged away and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.
Don't be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. He chose to give us birth through the word of truth, that we might be a kind of firstfruits of all he created."


Dear Jesus,
Today I lift up all my brothers and sisters including myself in prayer, asking that You will be our strength and guidance when we are tempted to do things not pleasing to You. I pray for the depressed, for those who feel helpless, hopeless and need love. I pray that those who need healing be healed, those who need strength, that You will be their strength and those who are led astray that they will allow You in their life and let go of what is making them suffer. May Your precious and divine will be done for us all and we thank You for the gift of life and for all You have already done for us and continue to do for us. Blessed be Your name forever Jesus Our Precious Savior! Amen~~~
