I gave My life for you. I gave it willingly and joyfully, for I saw the reward of loving you.

I hear your cries for forgiveness and your lament over failure, but you fail to see as I see. I see the blood.

Rejoice in the surety of My covenant. Relax in the knowledge that your frailty and weakness cannot annul what is eternally stable and firm.

My life paid for her righteousness – the garment of holiness that she could wear before the courts of heaven.
