What is it that happens when I contemplate Christ crucified?
Something in me- deep in my being, my soul- is activated. I no longer experience fear, worry, and passing things weighing me down. Somehow I am lifted above that because my heart is captivated.
Everything in me is magnetically attracted to Him- to that experience of Him crucified- that everything that before consumed me is somehow extracted from me and absorbed by Him.
He leaves me speechless- His love outpoured- then soaks me, washes me, and makes all things new.
Somehow, through this, all in me is ordered and finds its place before Him. Here I find the assurance of all grace and love.
He takes my breath away.
