"And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left."
-Luke 23:33 (NKJV)
"I have learned how to be content with whatever I have."
- Philippians 4:11 (NLT)
"Often the bitter herbs of Gethsemane have taken away the bitterness of your life, the scourge of Gabbatha often has scourged away your worries, and the groans of Golgotha have produced unthinkably rich comfort for you. We would never have known the full height and depth of Christ's love if He had not died, nor would we have even been able to guess of the Father's deep affection if He had not given His Son to die." -Charles Spurgeon
Lord, I have You. Your ransom of my soul is what You wanted to give me. I want to learn like Paul did, the secret of contentment, of joy - wanting nothing more than my Sovereign King gives me. Wanting what I have and letting it be enough. Calvary - Your brutal death and abundant bloodshed to pay for my forever with You - is enough. It covers not only my failures, but all I could ever desire.
