Tonight at Bible Study I had a little revelation... We were having an intense night of prayer, singing, and quoting scripture in attempts to really set aside the busy-ness of life and set our focus solely on God.
I was telling Him how I wanted to constantly remember how he died on the cross for me- to carry MY burdens and my sins. I feel like whenever I take my focus off of Him it is because I don't remember of his crazy love for us. In my personal life I absolutely hate putting people out. I live my life in a very efficient way and I hate for others to go out of their way for me. I hate for them to suffer pain or inconvenience on my behalf. I get a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach and just want to do things myself so as not to bother them.
God's son Jesus suffered pain for ME! He endured embarssament for ME! He gave up his life and died a grueling death for ME! Not that he wants me to feel guilty on a daily basis but our burdens and sins inconveienced him in a big way! I wonder how I can let this thought slip out of my mind so easily? On a daily basis if I should turn my thoughts towards anyone - it should be Jesus. I should reflect this in my every day actions. Him dying on the cross for me was the ultimate sacrifice. I hope this simple analogy can serve as a constant reminder for me. I hope it can help me identify more with the pain and sacrifice that Christ went through for each and every one of us.
