What's so good abt Good Fri?

Yeah, Good Friday (10 APr) is coming.....

It's GOOD coz the significance of this day has brought me so much GOOD in my life....
IT's GOOD coz many many many years ago, someone loved me so much to go through so much to lay his life for me on the cross..

He not only died but He rose again and is ALIVE TODAY!

what He did for me then is still bringing so much good in my TODAY!

Here's one of my many testimonies of His goodness :

This year, begin to appreciate the gift of grace thru Jesus' love for me. I used to think I was a very patient and good natured person until I stayed at home full time as a mummy.

It's a challenging journey for me to remain loving and patient amdist all the demands of my 7 mth baby and a 3 yr daughter who is going thru a phase of seeking her own independence ( her current and I pray only temporary fav phrases , " I dun wan" , "NO". )

I lost my patience( and self control) one day and was exceptionally harsh to my daughter. I felt terribly lousy and ashamed of myself as a mother. But as I came to pray to Jesus confessing my guilt, I received his gift of grace thru this verse ,

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses but we have one who has been tempted in every way , just as we are are but without sin.

So let us approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16

Jesus sympathises with my moment of weakness and his blood on the cross frees me from all condemnation so that today I can put the gulit of my past failings on the cross and continue in my journey with confidence to grow to be a loving mother.

Not by 100% of my own strength and determination alone but together with the grace of Jesus everyday, I will emerge victorious =)

HOw about you? DO you have a reason to celebrate GOOD Fri too?
