"Thus you shall not show pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot." Deuteronomy 19:21
Deuteronomy 19 - purge the evil from among you. Have you ever felt the pain from something that was not your fault? What about having your foundation torn apart at an early age? It hurts having to witness that, you bury this memory only to live it out later in life. Moses wasn't telling us to not show pity, to take life for life. He understood the cause of pain and knew if we carried it, we would repeat it. He tells us to purge the evil from amongst us. The only way I know to do that is to cast all ourq cares upon the Lord. Mary Magdalene felt the pain, Jesus could feel it but could also see a life that understood and could help others even to this day. Spend time at the foot of the cross and speak with Jesus, He is the answer and the Healer.
What is God saying to me: You look into My eyes and see the pain, you see the loss. You also know the joy, the victory over sin. Be my witness amongst the nations.
Dear Lord God, You know my prayer this morning and those whom You have me praying for. Help us all to avoid the near occasion of sin, for it lays a trap, to snare us and draw us in. You loved each of us on the cross Lord, may we always turn to You and feel the love that You so want to give. Stop the cycle of pain and help us find peace in our lives. Give hope to the hopeless and renew our spirits that life is a joy to experience especially when we are walking with you. Bless this day Father, I look forward to looking into the eyes of others and seeing You. To God be the glory now and forever, Amen.
Mary, Virgin Most Pure, Pray for us.
The foot of "The Cross", this is such a powerful memory.
Greater is He that is in me than he that is in the world. 1 John 4:4b
