If everyone could take the following and run with it, what a world it would be...
"Finally, ALL of you, live in harmony with one another; be sympathetic, love as brothers, be compassionate, and humble. Do not repay evil with evil or insult with insult, but with Blessing, because to this you were called..." 1 Peter 3:8-9
To be a blessing to another person even when the flesh is insisting that you react in discord is a feat well worth the task. In other words rise above the insults, you may suffer the insult, but you will also feel your spirit soar...
As we think about what occured on this day so many years ago, can you imagine what it must of been like for Him to take all the abuse and insult and speak not a word against them, but instead to say, "Father, forgive them, they know not what they do."
Can you imagine the disciples thoughts, after seeing all the miracles, can't you imagine them thinking, "ok, Lord, when are you going to let loose and get them back with all your power?" Can you imagine that even Judas himself may have thought when he took that money and turned Jesus over, that there was no way anything like what happend to Jesus could happen. They saw Him do the miracles, they knew He was their King, but oh boy, their idea of how He would obtain that position was not even close to being in line with God's plan.
Think about your reactions today...do they align with God?
May you be abundantly blessed on this Good Friday...may forgiveness rise up within your soul like a beautiful sunrise sparkling over the waters...
Thank you Lord for forgiveness...

A Day of Delights
About Me
- His Delighted Servant
- My faith is what moves me , it is enjoyable, irresistable, lovely and warm with a sense of mystery. Its like a summer day with a gentle breeze blowing my hair, like a butterfly emerging from a cacoon, like a flower pushing its way through the soil of the earth, like a hidden treasure waiting to be found, yes it is my faith that defines me and I am completely content regardless of what goes on around me...My life with Yeshua is like a well written novel that I can not and will not put down... My greatest desire is to be used by Him to touch hearts without religiousity, denominationalism or legalism. One heart at a time. God Bless All from Shelli
