Oh Lord, thank You for suffering and dying for my sins on the cross. You took it upon Yourself to pay the debt that I was incapable of paying on my own. This You did as a willing lamb going to the slaughter. Thank You, Jesus. How can I repay You? This gift is the greatest of all. To know that Your blood has covered me and that I am made clean is the best feeling ever. If You had not done this then I would be left broken in my shame. Thankfully, You didn’t give up on me but came to my rescue. I had many restless nights just thinking about everything I had done and how evil it was in Your sight. I felt forsaken and lost in these dark hours. I was wretched not knowing where to go, but then You came and heard my cries. I called upon Your name, Jesus, in all my confessions, knowing that I was incapable of changing on my own. You were the only person who could turn a sinner like me to live for You. And You did take my hand. I was brought out of the darkness and into Your light. There is rest now, for You are with me. I love You, Jesus. You are my Savior and my God. Amen.

John 19:26-30
John 19:26-30 (KJV)
26 When Jesus therefore saw his mother, and the disciple standing by, whom he loved, he saith unto his mother, Woman, behold thy son!
27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy mother! And from that hour that disciple took her unto his own home.
28 After this, Jesus knowing that all things were now accomplished, that the scripture might be fulfilled, saith, I thirst.
29 Now there was set a vessel full of vinegar: and they filled a spunge with vinegar, and put it upon hyssop, and put it to his mouth.
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
