I love Good Friday and so today I prayed for a way to enter into this most precious story in a real and fresh way. It was such a bittersweet time of reminding and remembering. Here is a little of what came to mind.
You, perfect unblemished Lamb
Me, with my secret blemishes and those in full view
You, full of grace and beauty
Me needing grace and needing beauty restored
You, with a matchless name
Me, with a name given by the Father of Lies
You, the Light of the World
Me, groping in the darkness
Before I even cried out for mercy there was
You, taking all my blemishes
All my need
All my lies and darkness
And You, willingly wearing them and wrapping yourself up in them
Filfthy with my mistakes, to make me clean
Me, without blemish in your eyes
Me, with your grace and beauty restored
Me, with a new name and an illuminated life
Today I celebrate what you did
And I mourn that you had to do it
For me
