The Ultimate Sacrifice

Deep? How deep??

Tormented and crucified, a strong faith built to be shaken but never stirred
Exalted in an instance as the nails penetrated his palms;
But yet the greatest reward given to his people is the sacrifice of the blood shed that washed 
away our sins..
Through all the earthly pain in the flesh, he thought of us in Spirit...Wow!
What he knew I'd be...What he knew I'd become...
Was it a gamble or a choice? 
Some would have you believe it was a gamble but I know different, I am a part of a choice and 
blessed enough to know the difference.

"Life, the ultimate gift of choice, graciously given through the ultimate sacrifice."

Where will your focus be today????
