Answer me, Lord,
out of the goodness of your love;
in your great mercy turn to me.
in your great mercy turn to me.
(Psalm 69:16 NIV)
A bittersweet thought crossed my mind this morning as I pondered the above image: How would I spend this Lenten "honeymoon" with my Beloved, if I knew that He was facing certain death 26 days from today?
As we journey toward Calvary, how will I bear what Jesus was going through those last days on earth? Will I accompany Him to the cross, clinging to His side, hanging on His every word, pouring out my adoration and even mourning with tears at His feet?
