death thought it had won


"Day turned to night, His friends scattered and death thought it had won. 
But heaven just started counting to three." -Bob Goff

In this time Jesus pursued the humanity of this world with the greatest love that ever was and ever will be. He was blameless, yet did not resist punishment. His words held power and confidence in his identity. Death and darkness thought they had won, but the heavens and the rocks of the earth knew this was not the end, but the beginning. All fell quiet as Heaven prepared to bring light everlasting to the spirits of our clouded souls. 

Over the mountains and seas, he comes running, my Lover to me. 

If my tongue is able to speak at all after reflection on what has been done for me, it soulfully utters "thank you. i surrender."
