Priceless
He crossed all boundaries, didn't
care about what they said,took on
all abuses and beatings just to show
the world that He loves me and he'd
give up everything to make me His
own. He didn't choose me because
am Pretty, talented,smart,rich
whatsoever.... He gave up
everything because he loves me
more than anything he had.
Someone else had won my
heart,given me all the beautiful
gifts,took me to the movies,dressed
me up like a queen,spoilt me with
every good thing,lets say,this other
guy was very rich in everything. He
even told me he loved me(note the
word loved) but when the guns
pointed towards me,He couldn't
give up His life for me.
Did I care that he was in love with
many others! Ofcourse not,He told
me, He loved me and that's all that
mattered. He'd done and told them
the exact same things He told me.
Its then that I discovered,he was a
liar,a thief,a rebel
,a conman,a selfish bastard.
He'd taken my childhood and I was
soon to be dumped as he moved
onto His next victim.
Even in the presence of many
witnesses he was not ashamed to
deny me,and when all guns pointed
at me,he just looked away,gave me
that sorry look and jumped through
the window. What a coward!
Christ found me broken,lonely,rich
but poor,a criminal waiting to be
convicted. Hopeless in every way. I
didn't believe someone would ever
love me passed my pain and
mistakes until He showed up.
One fateful night,my ex plotted to
kill Him because he'd chosen me.
He was told to give me up,so He
could live but he chose to die so I
could have life in its abundancy. I've
never seen a man so patient as this
one. You know how hard it is to kill
old habits! I sometimes find myself
back to that point but His grace! His
amazing Grace.......
The most amazing thing about this
love is He didn't just come for me
but for you too. He mended my
broken heart,restored and gave me
a fresh start,took me back to school
to learn how to live better and
productive through his amazing
words of Life. Even when I fail him
he remains Faithful and He
constantly reminds me that nothing
shall break the bond of love we
have.
He is calling you out of that abusive/
manipulative relationship into a
perfect relationship with Him. He
gave up everything because he loves
you. You're His Special one beloved,
you're loved by the most High. And
His name is Jesus. It doesn't matter
what your passed has been. His
arms are wide open to receive you.
Won't turn your eyes upon Him!
