“But he was pierced for our transgressions,
he was crushed for our iniquities;
he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
and by his wounds we are healed.
and by his wounds we are healed.
We all, like sheep, have gone astray,
each of us has turned to our own way;
each of us has turned to our own way;
and the LORD has laid on him the iniquity of us all.”
Isaiah 53:5-6
My trials, my worries, my issues…whatever they are…are N.O.T.H.I.N.G. Absolutely nothing…compared to HIS suffering. Yet, as a human I get bogged down in what is going on in my life. I hadn’t intended to post this morning. I didn’t think I had anything to say, until I read this. It made me think and changed my outlook on things. Thank you, Jenny. Thank you, Lord. I had never visited Jenny’s blog before, she stopped by my place earlier this week. So glad she did and that I got the chance to visit her.
Lord, thank you for the thoughts Jenny wrote yesterday. Thank you for the suffering you endured for me. My trials are nothing compared to what you went through. Thank you, Jesus.
I hope you have a wonderful day! Thanks for stopping by…
Your right, Mary, worthy of reading today. We ought to stop and contemplate what our Lord suffered for us. He gave all He had to give.
Quiet, prayerful contemplation this week of Lent.
