Heart Rending Meditation

3/1/10 The cutting words tore through the fabric of my emotions. How grateful I am for the ONE whose veil was rent on my behalf. Sometimes when the world gets heavy, we need some “heavy” meditation. Today’s verse is just that. Just thinking on it and drawing near has removed the heaviness from my heart.
Hebrews 10:19-22 So, friends, we can now—without hesitation—walk right up to God, into "the Holy Place." Jesus has cleared the way by the blood of his sacrifice, acting as our priest before God. The "curtain" (veil) into God's presence is his body.
So let's do it—full of belief, confident that we're presentable inside and out. Let's keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word. Let's see how inventive we can be in encouraging love and helping out, not avoiding worshiping together as some do but spurring each other on, especially as we see the big Day approaching.
