Lord we thank you for the love you have for us. That inspite of our weakness and sin, you offered yourself up for us that we may find joy, healing and forgiveness. I love you Lord. Forgive me for falling short and for failing to love. Please grant me the grace to always remember your love for me on that cross and how you conquered sin and death by the power of your love. Amen
“Yet it was our infirmities that he bore,
our sufferings that he endured,
while we thought of him as stricken,
as one smitten by God and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our offenses,
crushed for our sins;
upon him was the chastisement that makes us whole,
by his stripes we were healed.
We had all gone astray like sheep,
each following his own way;
but the Lord laid upon him
the guilt of us all.” – Isaiah 52
