Bleeding Love

The new hit song (#1 Itunes) by Leona Lewis has a really fantastic lyric.

But I don’t care what they say I’m in love with you
They try to pull me away But they don’t know the truth
My heart’s crippled by the vein That I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding
I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open 

When I think about this, I naturally think of Jesus bleeding love on the cross. And it was our sin that cut him open. Yet, it is interesting to think that sometimes through life's trials, we are cut open and it is there that our hearts depth is revealed. Do we bleed love?

Easter Week

This is a great week to do some things different. Here are some things I like to do and some suggestions to make this a spiritually nourishing season.

1) Go to a good Friday service. It's the day to remember Christ death.
2) Fast.
3) Do the stations of the cross as a meditative prayer walk.
4) Journal
5) Re-read the crucification accounts in the gospels.
6) Watch the sunrise Easter morning.
7) Recommit your life in faith to your resurrected Lord & Savior - Jesus Christ.
8) Practice the presence of Christ with awareness worship.

It's about the cross
