Above All: Crucified (Luke 23:46, John 19:30)

"Like a rose trampled on the ground, You took the fall and thought of me above all." – Paul Baloche and Lenny LeBlanc 🌹

Dear undermined underdog,

Winnie the Pooh asked, "Have you ever had one of those days when you just can't win, Eeyore?"

"Yup, I know how that feels," Eeyore replied.

There would be times when we feel like we're stuck in a frustrating situation. Maybe we're in a time when we say there's no hope for our nation.

Our earthly problems are only temporary. Do you know that right now you can have everlasting victory?

Today is Good Friday, a day we commemorate the sacrifice Jesus did on the cross.

I wrote a poem today as I recalled what happened that day.



Here are the verses to reflect on today:

Luke 23:46

And when Jesus had cried out with a loud voice, He said, “Father, ‘into Your hands I commit My spirit.’” Having said this, He breathed His last.

John 19:30

So when Jesus had received the sour wine, He said, “It is finished!” And bowing His head, He gave up His spirit.

Jesus sacrificed Himself for each and every one of us. He's the King of kings and Lord of lords. He's above it all, but for us He took the fall. He died to pay for our sins so that we may be reconciled to God and enter heaven. All we need to do is believe in Him.

Believe Jesus is the Savior who died and resurrected. Believe He is Lord whom our lives in His hands are directed. He directs us to be passionately loving. He directs us to be victoriously happy. He directs us to live with Him eternally.

With love,

Celina <3




I like writing. I like rhyming. I hope you'll like the light God's shining.

"No place I would rather be than here in Your love, here in Your love." – Will Reagan & United Pursuit 🧭 Dear lost loiterer, Do you have no idea where you're heading? Don't know where you should be going? I think everyone has been in the middle of a crossroad before, that spot where you’re given options and you don’t know which to choose. The passage that we’re going to look at is how the Israelites were led in the wilderness. We’re in the book of Numbers, but this was already mentioned in Exodus. It’s told briefly in Exodus 40:34-38. Let’s see the more detailed account in Numbers. Numbers 9:15-18, 22-23 (NASB) 15 Now on the day that the tabernacle was erected, the cloud covered the tabernacle, the tent of the testimony, and in the evening it was like the appearance of fire over the tabernacle until morning. 16 That is how it was continuously; the cloud would cover it by day, and the appearance of fire by night. 17 Whenever the cloud was lifted fr...

“I believe You're my healer. I believe You are all I need.” – Hillsong Worship 👨‍⚕️ Dear sick species, Your flesh desires to do what God desires for you to quit. You need to be made whole by His Spirit. You need Jesus in your life to heal every part of you – the part that sins, the part that hates, the part that’s blue, the part that’s anxious, the part that rages, the part that doesn’t know what to do.  Health isn’t just about the physical aspect of life. It also includes the emotional, social, spiritual, and intellectual well-being of a person (Roger Williams University) . We’re talking about this because this entry is about the story of The Bronze Serpent found in Numbers 21. My previous post was on the psalm written about how God punished the generation of the Israelites for rebelling against him. They were to wander in the wilderness for 40 years and were to die there without entering the Promised Land, Canaan, except for Caleb and Joshua. Now we’ll read of a signif...
