Am I worth the betrayal?
Am I worth the denial?
Am I worth the tears and sweat of blood?
Am I worth the whip lashing Your back?
Am I worth the mockery, the laughs?
Am I worth the thorns smashed into Your head?
Am I worth the massive wooden cross?
Am I worth the blood that You've lost?
Am I worth each exhausting step to the hill?
Am I worth the humiliation?
Am I worth the suffocation?
Am I worth Judas's kiss?
Am I worth the nail hammered into Your wrist?
Am I worth Your gasping breaths?
Am I worth…
…Your death?
Am I worth all this excruciating pain?
No…not even fathomably close.
But even so, that is why You came.
To take my place.

The Bible:Good News
Lots of People say, "Well the Bible's just a book." Well first off, that's wrong. The Bible's not just another book.The bible six of six books, forty different people wrote it. Over fifteen hundred years, there's never been a book like that in history. Ever. Does that make it the word of God? No. Just means it's worth considering. 'Cause there's never been a book like this. It gives you some reason to consider it over the others.
Okay,how about history? For hundreds of years archeology has used the Old Testament and the new, to find buildings, To find people, to find civilizations, to find kings that didn't didn't exist, or they didn't thin

Vows
Here,
with you,
before the altar,
words fail.
What joys now lie within my grasp -
but oh what fears
that even now
it could all slip away.
For what vow can I make,
what words can I say?
Nothing is enough.
Only this little handful of love,
a paper boat
that capsizes with every wind.
There will be days
when my trust in you
will be smothered by my useless fears,
days when I will have affairs
with worries and doubts
instead of hiding myself
in your strong arms.
I am not good enugh for this -
my days are doomed
to infidelity
and broken vows
will litter my paths
because I am too weak
to hold your hand.
Here,
with you,
before the altar,
I fail.

I wrote this immediately after seeing a play depicting Jesus's Passion and Death at the church near my school. It was soooooo intense and moving. Wow. People were crying all over the place.
And for a visual person like me, I really needed something like this real-life depiction of His Passion to help me bring more meaning to my experience during Lent.
It was so real, and so, so saddening to watch. And I couldn't help thinking, "I really did this to Him."
So I will try to remember that from now on.
God bless you guys! Hope God touched you in some way through this!

Thank you for sharing this. For anyone reading this, The Passion of the Christ is a great movie to see during Lent, especially on Good Friday, in order to better appreciate the intensity of Jesus' suffering (though I will say, due to its graphic violence, it is not for the fainthearted).
