🌹 Roses are red, violets are blue… They say love is rare. But I died for you. — Jesus 🤍 Not when you were perfect. Not when you “got it together.” Not when you finally stopped messing up. I chose you knowing every mistake you’d make. 📖 “But God demonstrates His own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.” — Romans 5:8 Before the glow up. Before the healing. Before the obedience. I carried the cross with your name on it. The nails? For you. The crown of thorns? For you. The humiliation? For you. I didn’t send flowers. I stretched out My arms. And I didn’t say, “I love you” with words. I proved it with blood. 📖 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.” — John 15:13 So if you ever question your worth… Look at the cross. If you ever wonder if you’re loved… Look at the empty tomb. Because resurrection is proof that My love didn’t just die for you… It rose for you too. ✝️🤍 Happy Valentine’s Day. Love, The One who stayed.

I leave behind my regrets. I leave behind my mistakes. I leave behind my shame. I leave behind my guilt. I leave behind my past. The Word of the Lord stands forever — I AM washed, redeemed and being sanctified.

About three o'clock Jesus cried out in a loud voice, "Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?" which means, "My God, my God, why have you abandoned me?" Matthew 27:46 In the shadow of the cross, amidst the scorn and agony, Jesus, our Savior, faced the unspeakable. His flesh was torn, His spirit burdened, and His heart heavy with the weight of the world's sins. In the depths of His suffering, He sought comfort from His Father, the One who had sent Him on this sacred mission of redemption. Yet, in this dire moment, the response from the heavens was a profound silence. This silence was not a mark of abandonment, nor a sign of a Father's indifference. It was a holy pause in the divine narrative, a testament to the gravity of the sacrifice being made. The silence spoke volumes of a love so pure and a plan so perfect that it required the Son to endure separation so that we might never have to. Christ, in His infinite wisdom and boundless love, did not waver, did not doubt. He embraced the silence, knowing it was a crucial chapter in the story of our salvation. Just as Jesus trusted in the silence, we too are called to hold firm in our faith when God's voice seems distant. In the quiet, in the moments where we search for answers and hear nothing in return, God is still present, still working. His silence is not a void but a space for us to grow in trust and to cling to the promises written in His Word. Let us remember that the God who was silent on the day of crucifixion is the same God who rolled away the stone from the tomb. In His silence, there is a divine purpose, and in His time, all will be revealed. So let us take heart and trust in the silent work of our Sovereign Lord, for even in the quiet, His love for us speaks louder than words. 🙏🏿✨️🙌🏾

If He forgave me— I have to forgive me. Thank You Jesus for your forgiveness and cleansing of sins. Holy Spirit, help me walk this out with purity and obedience!!!
