He is Risen INDEED!

"Christ was all anguish that I might be all joy, cast off that I might be brought in, trodden down as an enemy that I might be welcomed as a friend, surrendered to hell's worst that I might attain heaven's best, stripped that I might be clothed, wounded that I might be healed, athirst that I might drink, tormented that I might be comforted, made a shame that I might inherit glory, entered darkness that I might have eternal life.



My Saviour wept that all tears might be wiped from my eyes, groaned that I might have endless song, endured all pain that I might have unfading health, bore a thorned crown that I might have a glory-diadem, bowed his head that I might uplift mine, experienced reproach that I might receive welcome, closed his eyes in death that I might gaze on unclouded brightness, expired that I might for ever live." (The Valley of Vision, "LoveLustres at Calvary)



This is the day that made all the difference.

HE is RISEN indeed!

I love your profile! I've been to Texas twice last year, I drove a truck down to Brenham for my customers Ed and Mike who have the most wonderful antique store there. It's called "Leftovers" I hope you can go visit those boys, they are the sweetest!
