I was sinking in sin to its outcome of death. The Law could not lift, save or restore me. It only announced my condemnation. Secular enlightened society could not lift me; it had no language to which I could hold. Psychology could only analyze me. Sociology explained me in terms of my environment, but I was still un-lifted. Love embodied in Jesus of Nazareth came to my rescue. I looked into His face and felt mercy and grace sweep over me. I knew in that moment that God loved me unconditionally. My chains fell from me. My burden left me. Shame and guilt took its flight. I began to sing, “When nothing else could help, Love lifted me.”
Father, thank you for the lifting and transforming power of Your great love. Amen!
