Blood and water flowed out

You have been washed in my blood

Jn 19:31-37Since it was preparation day, in order that the bodies might not remain on the cross on the sabbath, for the sabbath day of that week was a solemn one, the Jews asked Pilate that their legs be broken and they be taken down. So the soldiers came and broke the legs of the first and then of the other one who was crucified with Jesus. But when they came to Jesus and saw that he was already dead, they did not break his legs, but one soldier thrust his lance into his side, and immediately blood and water flowed out. An eyewitness has testified, and his testimony is true; he knows that he is speaking the truth, so that you also may come to believe. For this happened so that the Scripture passage might be fulfilled: Not a bone of it will be broken. And again another passage says: They will look upon him whom they have pierced.


Blood and water flowed out

Lord

Lead me. What are you saying to me? Blood and water flowed?

You have been washed in my blood. Your love for me is pure. Let me love you. Accept my blood, accept my love. Open your heart to receive me and allow me to heal you. Trust me more fully. Your head knows I have a plan, that I will not hurt you. I will not allow you to suffer anything you cannot handle. All the suffering makes you stronger and brings you closer to my heart and to your mission.

Lord, I do not understand why you allowed these demons to surface if you were not going to release them.

They are making you stronger. They are making you trust me more. There is nothing they can do to you that will not bring you closer to me. The more you suffer, the more you know your need for me and the more you will reach out to me. The more you reach out to me the more you trust me. The ore you trust me, the more you allow me to love you and the more you love me.

I want you to concentrate on accepting my love. Meditate on it. Let it penetrate your mind and then your heart. You want Joy in your life but you keep it at an arms length. You fear the price you will have to pay for that joy. I have already paid that price. It is free to you. There are no strings attached. You are judging me by human standard.
You have to open up and accept the reality of the unseen world and the impossible or what you believe to be impossible. You say I can do anything but you do not expect it. You have to think out of the box. Do not put limits on me. There is nothing I cannot do and nothing I would not do for my children, for you. Everything I do in your life is for your sanctification. Everything I allow in your life is also for your sanctification. You must believe that especially when you are under attack.


Lord, help me remember when I need it the most.
