Sacrafice, Easter, Family Photos

Romans 8:31-38 I am free from any condemnation brought against me and I cannot be separated from the love of God.

I took the past few days to reflect on this statement - as Easter draws closer I continue to think of God's sacrifice for me- and really how much it means- I watched the passion of the Christ and was once again struck with how much Christ had to go through- but something else stuck out to me- through all the pain, the blood, and loss of flesh- He was so beautiful- it didn't have anything to do with what he looked like but rather what he was doing- who he was- the verse that came to mind was that there was nothing to draw men towards him- he wasn't overly handsome- and yet people were so drawn to him- yes he was the Son of God- but it also had to do with the way he lived His life.

I had thoughts running through my head this week- my family is visiting and I am worried about family photos- photos last forever- well almost- photos of me wearing no makeup- I'm okay with the here and now- but years down the road...

I was laid flat with the thought of I choose to give up makeup- I gripe and complain- but God gave up his life, His son, His connection with His son, His throne- for me- and all because he loves me - and I can never be separated from that Love! Yaaaa
