The first note of true love

Lord, Your cross is where,

I heard the first note of true love.

At the cross of Calvary,

where you bore my sin and grieve

and purchased me: the slave of sin.

The lamb of God, slain for my sin

Became a sin offering to pour His life-

abundantly onto me.

Oh!This love overflows my heart

or I never can contain the depth:

Where you the Son of God,

In all your Majesty

ever thought to save me,

just a bit of dust on the face of earth…

In all your love and power-

you found me precious and redeemable

and brought your magnificent plans

come together in my life

and gave me this precious gift of salvation,

altogether free.

 

I was so much in need of you – Lord,

bonded, rejected,withdrawn…

crushed in my pew of darkness

far from your grace and mercy

I am glad you saw me there ,

in the darkest hour of my life

with your eyes full of compassion.

and held me so close to your heart,

engraved me on the palm of your hands;

like no one ever had,JESUS…

 

Your love have set me free:

When your note of love reached my ears,

they got open

the living water rushed to my soul.

As I saw your crucified image

my vision changed for ever.

I can perceive your love

now all through this nature.

Your love clothed me in honor and

your words added wisdom.

 

If ever I declined  in my love for you

restitute my soul

to the first note of your love.

 

In Christ Jesus,

Smitha Thomas.

Salvation- ticket from Jesus.

 Acts 4:11,12 “It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed. He is the stone you builders rejected,  which has become the capstone.Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to men by which we must be saved.”

  The ultimate question in life where to find salvation?Many have sought answer to this by their intellect others tried through their own righteousness but failed without justification as they stumbled upon the cross. If you are in search of a reason to live,if you are unable to understand the eternal life or eternal hell, if you are unable to recognize the love of God in your life or in search of truth please try to stop and rethink about the plan of salvation,that God has already fulfilled for you.The truth of Jesus Christ can set you free from the bondage of sin to which we are tied up since age unknown. God gave the name of  Jesus to us as a ticket to heaven. If you  hold onto that name with an intangible faith believing that Jesus is the only way to salvation; you are set free from the label of a sinner and is now made a new creation and also is adopted to the family of Jesus. Bible clearly talks to us,except for Jesus, there is no person  or name that can save us from sin to which we are enslaved from birth. Today have you received the salvation God have foreseen for you?Do not stumble on the cornerstone God laid for us who is none other than Jesus.

         Salvation  is the redemption of man, from the bondage of sin and liability to eternal death, and the conferring on him of everlasting happiness. It is the saving grace of God the Father through his son JESUS CHRIST.

In Christ Jesus,
