“But He was pierced through for our transgressions, He
was crushed for our iniquities; The chastening for our
well-being fell upon Him, And by His scourging we are
healed.”
‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭53‬:‭5‬ ‭

I miss my painting tools! After four months of travelling,
I could spare some time to paint again today. To my
surprise, Jesus encounters me in the midst of the free-
flowing, joyous palettes.

Our Lord Jesus is full of love, compassion and emotions. He is real. When we are crushed by sadness and frustration, His tears shed for us. He awaits and longs for us to encounter Him.

He willingly let go of His life for our peace and hope. He
willingly takes on our transgression and pain. Such, is
the face of sacrificial love.

This is a song that touches me deeply:

More Than I Could Know
Your precious blood was shed for me
Bearing the pain, You thought of me
Grace, like oceans
Now surrounds me
In my shamefulness, You chose to hold me close Your love
It's deeper than I could ever know
On the cross, Your wounded hands, they tell me
You never let me go
Your love
It's deeper than I could ever know
Though trials and troubles come my way
The hardships that I face
No, they can't ever tear me from Your love

Great is Your love, unending love
Your love is so long, Your love is so wide
More than enough, more than I could know
Jesus, come and fill me with Your love
