This morning as I sat for my alone time with God, I read a devotion that gave a fresh perspective on the realness of Jesus before His time on the cross. In the garden He was in such distress, such agony desiring for His Father to change the plan. Here is what I wrote in the journal space.
For all that He suffered for us, great sorrow and agony and yet He did not turn back. Jesus could have stopped it. His Abba, Father could have stopped it. Neither did and for what? Us? Weak sinful people in constant need of saving, yes! It was us He chose to die for. To God, to Jesus, to our Father, we are worth dieing for. The weakness of His body was no match for the strength of His divinity. Nothing would stop Him. Our wild, untameable, uncontrollable, unchangeable God has chosen, decided to love us with Agape love. Nothing will stop that, nothing will change it.
I've been so wrapped up in myself lately, it was a nice realignment to put my focus back on God this morning. Still being in the woods as my doctor said, has given me an unique opportunity to recognize God is still sovereign despite whether I feel like it or not.
