How He Loves

I'm still trying to articulate my feelings about Easter this year; about the incredible service at church yesterday, which closed out with the song "How He Loves." I just scribbled in my notebook, "Oh how He loves us...!" It's incomprehensible.

Verses from Isaiah 53 keep tripping over themselves in my head and it's so perfectly perfect, this prophecy that describes my Savior, my God. He was a man of sorrows. There was no physical beauty or majesty that drew us to Him. He was despised by men and we esteemed him not. He was PIERCED for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities, the punishment that brought us peace was upon HIM and by his wounds we are HEALED.

Healed. We are healed. The brokenness has been healed. Oh how He loves us!
