went to see "the passion of the christ" last night. my co-worker's church had rented a theater to show a pre-screening of the movie. was so moved by it all. it's one thing to read about Christ's suffering; it's another to actually see it and see the extent of it. was a powerful depiction of what He went through. watching it has made me more appreciative and thankful. He did all that for me... just for me. afterwards, was difficult to verbalize the impact it had made on me. people were pretty solemn leaving the theater. i think of how people suffer here on earth, how i've suffered or am suffering... it's nothing compared to what Jesus experienced. and all because of His love for us, for me. it reminds me that despite any pain or any hurt i am feeling, He understands and He knows. and through it all, there can be victory for God reigns supreme.

makes me think of "Once Again" by Matt Redman

thank You for the cross...
