It is Finished

To prove my worth I tried,
To be perfect,
To be smart,
To be pretty,
To be witty,
To be a model Christian,
Pleasing and serving others.

But now,
It Is Finished.
Christ did the perfect work
To prove my worth.

In Him,
I am perfect,
I am wise,
I am accepted,
I am beautiful,
I am of great worth.

Thanks be to God for His indescribable gift!

Jesus

Jesus is the Commander in Chief.
Enemies flee from Him,
Opening prison doors,
Setting captives free.

Jesus is the Pure, Living Water.
He quenches your deepest thirsts,
Leaving you refreshed, whole and secure.

Jesus is the Powerful Doctor.
He heals broken hearts and bodies,
And even raises the dead.

Jesus is the Best Teacher.
He explains the secrets of life,
And gives insight into your pain.

Jesus is the Shrewd Broker.
He exchanges beauty for ashes,
Joy for mourning,
And a garment of praise for a spirit of heaviness.

Jesus is the Straight Shooter.
He boldly tells you the truth,
Giving warnings for the future.

Jesus is the Faithful Friend.
He prays for you daily,
And takes the blame for your wrongs.

Jesus is the Perfect Son.
He obeys His Father in all things,
Even to the point of death.

Jesus is all of these and more.
Will you trust Him?
Will you make Him your Lord?
