Friday {in focus} ~ Desert Blooms

 

I love the red buds on this cactus. I wouldn't want to meet up with one of its spikes, though...

This photo reminds me of God's love for me. Jesus endured a painful death - lashes, mockery, a crown of thorns, sour wine, and the nails of the cross. But through His love and resurrection, I will never know the pains of a spiritual death. Because I am forgiven and covered by the blood of Jesus Christ.

For if when we were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life.

Romans 5:10
