ENCOURAGING WORD

f a man has a hundred sheep and one of them wanders away, what will he do? Won't he leave the ninety-nine others on the hills and go out to search for the one that is lost?

~ Matthew 18:12, NLT

🌉 Devotional Reflection: The Great Divide

📖 “For there is one God and one Mediator between God and men, the Man Christ Jesus.” – 1 Timothy 2:5

“The Great Divide” is a powerful reminder of the spiritual chasm that once separated us from God—a divide carved by sin and human brokenness. But through the mercy of the Father and the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross, a bridge was built to span that divide.

✝️ Devotional Reflection: East to West

📖 “As far as the east is from the west, so far has He removed our transgressions from us.” – Psalm 103:12

This song is a heartfelt cry for mercy and a reminder of God’s complete forgiveness. It speaks to the struggle of guilt and the fear of being abandoned, yet it points us to the truth: Jesus has cast our sins away—forever.

🎶 “Jesus, can You show me just how far the east is from the west?”

Let this song remind you that no matter your past, God’s grace covers it. You are not defined by your mistakes—you are redeemed by His love.

But I trust in your unfailing love. I will rejoice because you have rescued me. I will sing to the Lord because he is good to me.

~ Psalm 13:5-6, NLT

At the Cross

At the Cross


I met Him in the garden, at the place of Gethsemane
I watched Him walk down to the cross of Calvary
The burdens of the world, He did take in prayer
With groaning and weeping He did tarry there,

I looked into his eyes and saw the plan of salvation
The sorrow’s He did carry, was for each and every nation
His brow drip with blood, His heart ached with pain
But He knew that man’s redemption would not be in vain.

The dusty road to the cross our iniquity he bore
Became the keys for tomorrow, that would open heaven’s doors
His broken body hung with His arms stretched wide
Beaten, bruised, and spitted on with stripes upon his side,

His obedience to His Father, He became the sacrificed
He gave up His authority, As He was the Messiah, the Christ
The blood that was shed at the cross of Calvary
Was the price that was paid for all of eternity.

His spirit left his body as the earth began to shake
The prince of darkness realized, he had made a mistake
The veil had been rent in two
Now, no more gentiles no more Jew,

Jesus Arose from the dead, to set ALL men free
Now truth is revealed, so that ALL might see
