Today’s Reflection: Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. Isaiah 53:4 NKJV

My Dear Child,

I feel your pain. I already bore your pain, your griefs, your sorrows when I hung on the cross for your sake. I was despised and rejected. I was stricken, smitten, afflicted, wounded for Your transgressions, and bruised for your sins. I took your sins upon Myself that you may be reconciled to God and find forgiveness and peace. It is by my stripes that you are healed. I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life. I chose death, yet now I live. I am alive forevermore. I am the Resurrection and the Life. Through Me, you can choose life. Come to Me for I know you are weary and heavy laden. I will give you rest. I will set you free. I will fill you with perfect peace, which is beyond human understanding. My goodness and mercy are pursuing you. My lovingkindness is drawing you. Be still and know that I am your God. Will you call unto Me? If you do, I will hear you. I will answer. I will show you great and mighty things that you do not know. Love,

Jesus
