Eli Eli Lama Sabachtani
My God, My God, Why Have You Forsaken Me
Matthew 27:45–46 NIV
From noon until three in the afternoon darkness came over all the land. [46] About three in the afternoon Jesus cried out in a loud voice, “Eli, Eli, lema sabachthani?” (which means “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?”).
He came
To pay
A price
For our sins!
~~~
He came a king
The King of humanity
Broken for our
Sins
They placed a
Crown of thorns
Upon his head
Piercing until
He bled
Our Saviors blood
The cost for
Our sins.
~~~
Mocked and ridiculed
They did their best
To make a spectacle
Of him
But there was something
They did not see
His divine glory!
~~~
Carrying the weight
Of our sins
Upon that tree
He cried out
Eli, Eli Lema
Sabathani
Separated from
Glory in that moment
He felt the weight of
Of humanities
Broken and sinful
Hearts
Upon that
Cross!
He paid the
Price for our
Sins
Endured it all
For you
And me
But he rose
Again
Even death
Could not
Hold him.

Finding Your Light: Embracing Imperfection
When you stop trying to please others and cease striving for perfection, your light returns. We often believe that women become unhappy because they are not pretty enough, not perfect enough, or not hardworking enough. But what truly exhausts women isn't these things. It’s trying too hard in life.
