A Meditation on the Wounds of Jesus
God gave me the words of this meditation just before He encouraged me to record the CD, By His Wounds. Then, as I put the final touches on the CD, Mel Gibson’s “The Passion” was released. The timing was God’s. I thought you might find this prayer helpful to you as you surrender yourself to God and to His Will for you and your life.
Pray with trust that God hears and live with expectation for His loving answer.
