undeserved grace.
it is the very sin i walk in
that lead Jesus on the path to the cross,
where He felt forsaken by His Father.
yet, when others walk out of my life,
He never leaves nor forsakes me.
it is my own brokenness
that inflicted His wounds,
breaking His human body.
yet, when i am wounded,
He bandages all that is broken.
it is my rejection
of His invitation of intimacy
that nailed His hands,
spreading His arms out on the cross.
yet, when I am rejected,
He welcomes me with
the same arms wide open.
it is the evil desires of my flesh
that whipped His skin,
tearing His flesh apart.
yet, when i fall into pieces,
He stitches me back together.
it is my disobedience and disbelief
that crucified Him on the cross.
yet, although i am deserving of darkness,
He redesigned my eternal destination
through His resurrection and my repentance.
at the gates of heaven, i should be met with wrath.
yet, because of Jesus, i will be welcomed with warmth.
