Job 7:17
What is man, that You should exalt him,
That You should set Your heart on him.
That You should set Your heart on him.
My Sweet Heart,
Your Word is too
wonderful for me. I could and should live in complete condemnation but
You did the unthinkable when You set Your tender heart on mine
determined to show me the depth of Your compassion. Miraculously,
You gave me a new life full of love and power, making me a witness to
Your abundant grace. My ugliness is forever gone and I'm altogether
lovely to You. Who am I to deserve such royal treatment?
It's sheer joy to
freely rise up each morning and move on despite my problems. Because of
Your great love, I can fearlessly face afflictions realizing that You,
the High and Lofty One whose name is Holy, agonized every minute of Your
ministry and died suffering. Why should I, the lowly tainted one whose
name is sinner, deserve better than You? Difficulties prove that Your
caring heart is set on mine. Full of Your tender loving kindness I'll
live a life of love even when problems and pressures plague me. My lips
will exalt You, while my soul experiences absolute peace and rest
because You've graciously chosen to lay Your heart on mine in the name
of Jesus. Hallelujah! Amen.
How
are you handling your troubles? Do you think you deserve better than
Jesus? Consider Him. He was holy, perfect, and pure. He willingly left
His home in heaven to come to earth where He was immensely tormented and
died an excruciating death for you. He did it all without complaining
in order to exalt you to a privileged position in His royal family. He
intentionally set His heart on you! His eyes adore you! Praise Him and
thank Him for your difficulties because they prove that He cares for you
enormously.
