Dear One,
Since the day I willingly laid myself on the cross for you, my arms have remained open.
That day, I stretched out my left arm for your past, my right arm for your future. I hung suspended between heaven and earth in total surrender and obedience to My Father bringing your past, present, and future together.
I was the atoning sacrifice for all your sins. The judgment for your sins was given to Me by My Father, the just Judge. Dear one, your sins are paid for in full; I purchased everything for you ... there is nothing else due.
You can't earn your way into Heaven or a relationship with Heavenly Father. Your faith in Me and acceptance of what I did for you is the only way. And good news, it's for all eternity. Never to be separated. Full access. An open invitation any time, night and day.
It was My cross to bear and it was worth it.
Why? You are worth it!
I died your death so you can receive My eternal life.
I bore your sins so you can bear My righteousness.
I bore your shame so that you can share My glory.
I became a curse so you can enter into blessing.
I was wounded so you can be healed.
Everything I went through was for your benefit.
It still is.
It's an open invitation.
Always and forever,
Jesus
Prayer: Jesus, thank you for your obedience, for your willingness to take my place and receive my punishment that day on the cross. I love you and want to receive every benefit you secured on my behalf. Thank you for your open arms and for the open invitation to come to you and Heavenly Father night and day. Amen
I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.” John 14:6
"He himself bore our sins" in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; "by his wounds you have been healed." 1 Peter 2:24
