TGIF

Lord,
On this day, you died for me. On this day, you hung on a cross, between two thieves, reviled and persecuted because of our sin. On this day, my name, just as every other name, crossed your mind. You were suffering, humiliated, and yet you did not call down angels to save you. You laid down your life for your friends, for your children. 'Thank you' seems to pale in comparison. May my life scream my gratitude to you. May I not live in sheltered bliss, unaware of your sacrifice, but may I live in awe and wonder of your amazing love. On this day, and every other, may I remember that your love is stronger than death.
Amen.
