This should lift your spirits!
Dear Friends,
Do you remember the old rhyme, “Nobody loves me, everybody hates me, I’m just gonna eat worms”? If you feel like that sometimes, today’s devotional should be very helpful. God bless you.
Because of Calvary,
John Janney
Galatians 2:20 (ESV)
20 I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
“Once I was dead in sin,
And hope within me died;
But now I’m dead to sin,
With Christ I’m crucified.
And can it be that ‘He loved me,
And gave Himself for me?’
O height I cannot reach!
O depth I cannot sound!
O love, O boundless love,
In my Redeemer found!
I live ― and yet not I,
But Christ now lives in me,
Who from the law of sin
And death has made me free.”
[Philip P. Bliss]
