"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven." (Matt. 5:13). In order for Jesus' kingdom to come, my kingdom will have to go, and for the first time I think I'm okay with that..... Jennifer Hatmaker-Seven

Couldn't help but copy this from another blog...it's speaks volumes for what today says for us believers.
How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure
That He should give His only Son
To make a wretch His treasure.
How great the pain of searing loss,
The Father turns His face away
As wounds which mar the chosen One,
Bring many sons to glory.
Behold the Man upon a cross,
My sin upon His shoulders
Ashamed I hear my mocking voice,
Call out among the scoffers.
It was my sin that held Him there
Until it was accomplished
His dying breath has brought me life
I know that it is finished.
I will not boast in anything
No gifts, no power, no wisdom
But I will boast in Jesus Christ
His death and resurrection.
Why should I gain from His reward?
I cannot give an answer
But this I know with all my heart
His wounds have paid my ransom.
