KendiKu

The cross of My Saviour,

terrifying you may look,

but it is hope and love that you radiate.

Yesterday, I saw the horror of your passion,

how You were betrayed, mocked, and tortured,      

which You never deserved.

If I recall my complaints, I feel ashamed for myself

for none of my sorrows is comparable to yours.

But today, I praise Thee for allowing me to see

a spark of light even in the darkest hour of your earthly life.

The more I stare at Your helpless body,

the more I see the glaring rays of compassion and love for a sinner like me.

As you have overcome death, Your LOVE and our HOPE remain endlessly.

Let that ray of hope show us the beauty of the ugly experiences in our lives.

Let us learn to love like He loved, forgive like He forgave, and to be faithful like He was until the very end.
