 "You Deserve Better "

One of the criminals who had been hanged [on a cross beside Jesus] kept hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the Christ? Save Yourself and us [from death]!” But the other one rebuked him, saying, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? We are suffering justly, because we are getting what we deserve for what we have done; but this Man has done nothing wrong.”

Luke 23:39‭-‬41 AMP  

Perhaps, You have been emotionaly scarred by someone who is guilty of everything you've accused them of.

Perhaps, God has allowed you to see their punishment for the wrong that they have done.

Still even in doing so, you feel like you feel. There is no faking your feelings, never has been.

You feel like you deserve better than the abuse you've suffered and you would be right...YOU DO DESERVE BETTER, but here's the thing, You deserve better than that person KNOWS HOW to be!!

They don't know how to be any different than they are. One of the criminals who hung on The Cross with Jesus hadn't changed one bit.

He still was being abusive, and disrespectful up until the end because some people just never change.

But you, don't hang your head and don't cry because your better has a name...His name is Jesus. Only Jesus could hang between two criminals and be unchanged, unbothered.

Despite the pain, Jesus remained true to His assignment. He saved one criminal and the other one, He just let him be.

Luke 23:39-43 NIV

BELOVED, You have to learn to save who you can and who you can't, just let them be and look to Jesus. He is THE BETTER you deserve. So, Focus your eyes & your heart on Him.

[Looking away from all that will distract us and] focusing our eyes on Jesus, who is the Author and Perfecter of faith [the first incentive for our belief and the One who brings our faith to maturity], who for the joy [of accomplishing the goal] set before Him endured the cross, disregarding the shame...

Hebrews 12:2 AMP

Until Next Sunday.
