Sunday Contemplation

Severity of the nails anchored through Christ’s palms. Oil dabbed on mine - revelation of His gentleness. Stinging tears that swelled a Savior’s face. Mine — bright-eyed peaceful countenance. My knees drop like the heavy cross into its plot. The bruise to my knees inconsequential. The thankful beating of my heart — praising the King of kings perpetually. 6/2/2019

What discomfort we suffer will never compare to the great sacrifices he made for us. Tom
