March 12th 2025 – Tears Into Diamonds

1 Reply

“I am weary with my groaning; All night I make my bed swim; I drench my couch with my tears.” (Psalms 6:6)

Pain can strike us in various forms—through the loss of a loved one, the sting of betrayal, relentless struggles, or the burdens of sin that weigh heavily on our hearts. Like King David, many of us have faced the bitter sorrow of betrayal, even from those we hold dear. It’s a universal truth that, no matter how resilient we are, we all encounter moments that bring us to our knees in tears. But how does God perceive our suffering and the tears we shed before Him?

“You number my wanderings; Put my tears into Your bottle; Are they not in Your book?” (Psalms 56:8)

Our compassionate Heavenly Father is deeply aware of our pain. Each tear we shed is not lost but collected by Him. Imagine the heartache of a parent witnessing their child in distress; this reflects, even more profoundly, the love our Father in heaven has for us. He sent His Son, who carried our sorrows and interceded for us, shedding tears for our sins—not to condemn us, but to bring us joy through His victory over sin (Psalm 126:3).

Take comfort in knowing that God sees our struggles, hears our prayers, and collects our tears. If we place our trust in Him, we are assured of eternal freedom from our burdens.

“And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying. There shall be no more pain, for the former things have passed away.” (Revelation 21:4)

“Our tears will turn to diamonds in His nail-scarred hands.”
“Diamonds are just coal that did well under pressure.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, thank You for understanding my heart, my sorrows, and my tears. Thank You for the ultimate sacrifice of Your Son, who paved the way for my deliverance from sin and sorrow in this world. I hold onto the hope You provide. Remind me that my tears are temporary and that You will wipe them away, bringing forth joy in their place. Empower me to walk in Your joy today, knowing a brighter day is coming. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

March 11th 2025 – Jesus Paid the Price

Leave a reply

“Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying: ‘Take the gift from the captives—from Heldai, Tobijah, and Jedaiah, who have come from Babylon—and go the same day to the house of Josiah the son of Zephaniah.’” (Zechariah 6:9-10)

In our lives, we have all experienced captivity in one form or another. Many of us still find ourselves bound, not necessarily as prisoners or slaves in the conventional sense, but as captives to our own sins.

As stated in John 8:34-35, “Jesus answered them, ‘Most assuredly, I say to you, whoever commits sin is a slave of sin.’”

Being enslaved by sin is perilous, often because those who are shackled may not even recognize their bondage. Some might even come to accept their captivity as normal. This illusion can lead to a life filled with pain and despair—yet there is hope. Jesus Christ entered this world to declare freedom for those held captive by sin. With His final breath on the cross, He rendered the chains of sin powerless. If we turn to Jesus, seeking His forgiveness and the freedom He provides, He will offer us the key to unlock our chains and empower us to live abundantly.

“God desires to liberate you from your sin and bless you with a fulfilling life.”

Prayer:

Heavenly Father, I acknowledge that I have been ensnared by my sins. Please forgive me and release me from these chains. I believe that Jesus is the key to my freedom, and I trust in His sacrifice on the cross for my sins. Fill me with Your Spirit and guide me to share this key to freedom with others. Set me free from the slavery of sin. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Put your faith and trust in Jesus! If you do not know him personally please read below.

Jesus Christ says, “Behold, I stand at the door and knock; if anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in to him” (Revelation 3:20)

The Bible promises eternal life to all who receive Christ: “God has given us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He who has the Son has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. I write these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life” (1 John 5:11-13)

If you have not asked Jesus into your life you can receive Jesus Christ right now by faith through prayer.

Prayer is just talking with God. He knows your heart, so don’t worry about getting your words just right. Here is a suggested prayer to guide you:

Lord Jesus, I want to know you personally. Thank you for dying on the cross for my sins. I open the door of my life and receive you as my Savior and Lord. Thank you for forgiving me of my sins and giving me eternal life. Take control of my life. Make me the kind of person You want me to be.

!If you have read this prayer and believed in your heart, then congratulations!

(Luke 15:7) says that when one sinner accepts Jesus Christ as his or her Savior the angels rejoice. So there’s a party going on in heaven right now over your decision! Remember this date as your “second birthday,” the day you were born into a new life in Christ! You have God’s Word that he answered your prayer.
