"And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced. Yes they will mourn for Him as one mourns for his only son, and grieve for Him as one grieves for a firstborn" ~Zeph 12:10~
Does it grieve our spirit the price that Jesus paid for our sins? Does it grieve us when we do things that grieve His spirit? We pierced Him. I pierced Him. The price of my forgiveness was on Him. The cost for me was His blood. He paid it willingly. Do we even understand or comprehend the Spirit of His grace and supplication? I fail Him so many times. I could find no way to redeem myself. I'm so incapable of keeping a constant list of laws to perfection that would earn my own righteousness...I'm way too weak and flawed for that. It's only His grace that could redeem me. Thank you, Lord, for loving me endlessly, and forgiving me tirelessly. Strengthen me to bring You glory and not grief all the days of my life.
"In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of His grace" ~Eph 1:7~
