The grandest call our God bestows,
Each fleeting second, day by day,
Is to live the gospel’s radiant prose—
To love and pardon all who stray.
In this, the truest sign is sown,
That we, as heirs of grace, may claim,
Children of the King enthroned,
Bear witness to His holy name.

What is brilliance
if it is not Christ
or Cross centered?

A blessed, glorious, boundless grace,
Salvation’s gift, both free and dear,
Renews each corner of our days,
A resurrected life to bear.
This gospel sings of Christ’s design—
Each heart a garden, lush and divine,
Where beauty blooms, His life takes root,
And souls, remade, bear sacred fruit.

From sinners lost, to heirs He calls,
From prince to princess, raised anew,
Through sin’s decay, He lifts our fall,
A glorious change comes shining through.
From glory unto glory grown,
Our hearts, our minds, His art unfold,
A masterpiece of love made known,
For all the world to see and hold.

As joint heirs of Jesus Christ,
God and His kingdom to come
is our royal estate and home.
For we need no other lands or
kingdoms for truly this fleeting
world is not our eternal home.

Prayer is the privileged soulful pursuit of running to Christ and
with eyes of faith finding oneself in the very throne room of Heaven.

May we be the type of Christ-like disciple that
when people are at their most vulnerable emotional
estate, that we choose to lavishly love them the
most for when we were sinners Christ died for us.

Because of the Cross
and the empty tomb
we are loved, forgiven,
set free, and undeservedly
redeemed and never condemned.

May we be our
Savior’s extravagant
ambassadors of grace,
mercy,love, forgiveness,
Holiness, and peace to
those who need to
experience our Savior’s
unmerited grace the most .

For the power of the Cross,
Jesus Christ divinely lives
within us lavishly bestowing on
each of His beloved,redeemed royal heirs
His Holy,majestic,grace,love
and limitless resurrection power!

all because of the Cross
all because of the empty tomb

all because of the Cross
all because of the empty tomb

Mark 14: 1-8
After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death.

But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people.

And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head.

And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made?

For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her.

And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me.

For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always.

She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying.

Such freedom
in knowing
we have done
all that we could.

And so we
give all our
excellencies
to our powerful
God knowing
that our best
done for the glory
of God is always seen
by our compassionate,
loving Triune God as a
delightful,perfect,
joyous,fragrant bouquet
of beauty humbly
presented from
Child of God
to well pleased
Holy Trinity!

God’s magnificent,
loving, gentle
grace is what
drew us to the
Cross of Christ.
For when we were
still sinners,
Christ died for us.

And so when
others sin
or fall or
make a mistake
may we, because
of Jesus Christ,
in our hearts
be that lavish
loving, forgiving,
forgetting, fragrant
balm of Gilead for
this is what Christ
continually does for us.

The more we read, dwell and meditate
on the life-giving words of our most
precious Holy God, our Savior, the more
the gentle dove will allow us to see
with eyes of faith what others cannot.

For our Holy Triune God illuminates the
world’s darkness with His Cross and with
His marvelous, infinite Spirit-filled truth,
grace,wisdom,beauty,light forgiveness and
Cross wrought everlasting love as evidenced
by His victorious,empty tomb that trumpets
to the world Heaven’s symphony of praise
He is risen. He is alive.And He is coming soon!
