THE END YOU LIVE FOR
Your life is shaped by the end you live for.
Only One could ever know the content of a new day and which paths He would travel. Yet you happen to be there. You have been caught up with a mob, a mob of 'rabble - rousers'. It presses on you too. The sense of time flies.
Now your eyes gaze upwards, filling with tears that refuse restraint.
It is very dark, not cold, but oh so dark. It shouldn't be, it is only mid-afternoon.
From the sixth hour to the ninth hour darkness came over all the land. (Matthew 27:45)
You witness the nails driven. Intolerably long screams ring shudders to your ears, while your heart heaves as never before.
The sticky blood from His pierced side splashes you red. You are stooped over, back curled, worshipping.
In the recesses of your soul you know you know - this innocent death was all of love for me!
Lord Jesus this world enchants no more, I simply want You and You alone. Your presence I will not avoid, nor deny You of me - for You DID die for me. Amen
