1 Who believes what we’ve heard and seen? Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this?
2 The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field.
There was nothing attractive about him,
nothing to cause us to take a second look.
3 He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand.
One look at him and people turned away.
We looked down on him, thought he was scum.
4 But the fact is, it was our pains he carried— our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us.
We thought he brought it on himself,
that God was punishing him for his own failures.
5 But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins!
He took the punishment, and that made us whole.
Through his bruises we get healed.
It is 1:55am and I am sitting in my bed listening to a new “worship” song from the great land of Australia, “Healer” or “I Believe Your My Healer”, and God just broke me once again. What I mean by that is I have actually been running from Him for a few months and He has had enough of it. Kind of like when you are disobeying your dad and he lets it go for so long, but then finally steps in and reminds you who he is and how much he loves you. My own dad has done it before with me, and God does the same thing, I believe that is where our dads learn it from without even knowing it.
But currently there is too many thoughts running through my head to write down here, so I believe I am going to pray instead and talk to my beautiful fiancée about it tomorrow night before I begin to write more.
Goodnight!
