The greatest love of all!

Beaten with many stripes, body soared and pained. Non heard my plight, was mocked, was disdained. The thorns; my crown, ate into my flesh. My blood gashing down; soul, extremely distressed. I ignored their questions; i answered them not. They took my possessions; they did cast lots. Villified, but still determine; to finish my goal. Un-imaginable, my sufferings, was taking its tole! I bore sins, convictions, with two have noughts; thieves. What a great contradiction; against things i taught. Hanging from a cross, i, left to die. Soldiers, without remorse, being silent, i cried. My god my god, i call out; i thirsted. My friends scattered abroad, i, bore the curse. Forgive them my father, i pleaded, looking above. This was his answer: son, this is love!

Hi, byfaith,
There is much suffering and sacrifice in this love. I hope, before our time ends, we are able to prove ourselves worthy. There is so much the mind does not yet understand.

Lol- actually, I meant hard to read as in content - pain & suffering. But I see you have polished it up as well thumbs up
And I still just love that last line! purple heart

P.S.The "dress-work" polished, that is (I'm ADHD- attention deficit..., and though it's easy for anyone to mis-interpret what one types, my knack for writing in a confusing manner is greater than most laugh )

hi scatlyn, it always a joy to know that christ in alive in someone's heart. we live in a mostly self centred world and its not surprising that mankind is in trouble. i thank god for his grace and those like you who have the heart to recieve it.angel
