With idols, I am through –
I once used them to console
My broken spirit.
I came to life when I met You –
You breathed into my soul
And pulled me from the pit.
My Precious Spotless Lamb,
You bought all of me with a price,
My body, my heart, my soul, my life!
I declare that I am
Thine, My Lord Jesus Christ!
Thank you for Your sacrifice! β€
For you know that God paid a ransom to save you from the empty life you inherited from your ancestors. And it was not paid with mere gold or silver, which lose their value. It was the precious blood of Christ, the sinless, spotless Lamb of God. (First Peter 1:18-19)
This poem was inspired not only by the verse above but by a chapter in Authentic Beauty by Leslie Ludy. π (Which I plan to review soon. π )
Thank you Grace for the wonderful post. Blessings to you and yours as you walk ever closer to our Lord. Denny
