This one hits me hard 🥲
WHENEVER I meditate upon the suffering of my Lord, I cannot but venture a great deal in respect to the love of God and His forbearance toward my sins. He bends His head to kiss me; He extends His arms to embrace me;
WHENEVER I meditate upon the suffering of my Lord, I cannot but venture a great deal in respect to the love of God and His forbearance toward my sins. He bends His head to kiss me; He extends His arms to embrace me;
He opens His hands to bestow gifts upon me; He opens His side that I may behold His heart glowing with love for me; He is lifted up from the earth that He may draw all men unto Himself (John 12:32); His wounds are livid with grief, yet gleaming with love
and in those open wounds we must seek for the secret of His heart. Truly with Him is plenteous redemption; for not a drop only, but streams of blood flowed from five parts of His body (...) Can Christ possibly forget in His life, those for whom He was willing to suffer death?
Johan Gerhard, sacred meditation VII ♥️
