Philippians 2:5-11 NLT
You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had. [6] Though He was God, He did not think of equality with God as something to cling to. [7] Instead, He gave up His divine privileges; He took the humble position of a slave and was born as a human being. When He appeared in human form, [8] He humbled Himself in obedience to God and died a criminal's death on a cross. [9] Therefore, God elevated Him to the place of highest honour and gave Him the Name above all other names, [10] that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11] and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
Love has hands ... reaching out to touch and heal... hands that drive out greed and hypocrisy... that bring hope from the jaws of death... tender hands that wash dirty feet.. hands that surrender to the nails of suffering... hands that put down the "first stone" of condemnation...
Love has feet... beautiful feet, swift to bring good news... feet that tread the extra mile of service... feet that take the inconvenient diversion because of one lost soul... feet that stand up to injustice... but surrender to the worship of the forgiven ... determined feet... ever onward to the Cross... pierced feet... yielding to the punishment meant for me...
Yes, love, "True Love" had Hands and Feet.... and those Divine Hands and Feet still vibrantly, eternally exist ...bearing the Scars in the Courts of Heaven... where Jesus stands up to plead for me...as the vile Accuser points to my failures... He boldly shows those Scars to say "not guilty" for I have paid in full!
Lord Jesus I bless Your wonderful Hands and Feet, but most of all for Your Heart so full of Grace and Truth that beats to the drum of unconditional, everlasting love to those who will humbly believe and receive
Your Hands still beckon and welcome whosoever will...
Hallelujah!
