I have hidden Thy word in my heart.

Mark 14. “They went to a place called Gethsemane, and Jesus said to his disciples, ‘Sit here while I pray.’ He took Peter, James, and John along with Him, and He began to be deeply distressed and troubled. ‘My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death,’ He said to them. ‘Stay here and keep watch.’ Going a little further, He fell to the ground and prayed that if possible the hour might pass from Him. ‘Abba, Father’, He said, ‘everything is possible for You. Take this cup from Me. Yet not what I will, but what You will'” (Verses 32-36). Have you ever doubted Jesus’ humanity? Did the thought of 100% God and 100% percent man at the same time, ever make you scratch your head and say, “Not possible”? All those doubts can be put to rest by these 4 Verses. If Jesus had no humanity, He wouldn’t have felt fear. He wouldn’t have been “overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death…” We do not serve a God that doesn’t understand us. No, our God has stood where we stand. He has been scared, angry, happy and sarcastic. Thus proving He was a hundred percent human. The fact that He did it all without sinning…made Him a hundred percent God.

About lsgrlr

I wanted to do something new. Not something arbitrary like joining a gym, losing weight, getting married, etc. I wanted to change from the inside-out. So, I decided to find one thing to be thankful for each day. On this journey some days have been really good, while others have been disastrously bad, yet every day has produced at least one reason to be thankful. My perspective is changing and for that I am ... Thankful.
