Just one drop of His blood and His suffering on the cross was an enormous price to pay for my sins which are many, I will praise Him always for what He did for me. Patricia

Excellent poem of faith and interpretation of Christ's life and the sacrifice he made to save us from sin. When all hope is gone, the poem says to "trust in Christ, a man of sorrow, one acquainted too with grief." He paid the ultimate price and with a pleading voice said, "Oh,my Father, please forgive them, for they know not what they do," Your final line ... "can you doubt He'll see you through?"

This is joist marvelous! I always love to read poems or stories about our Lord Jesus Christ. You are right and a lot of people do doubt way too often. (Doubting Thomas) for example. Still nonetheless, He always hands us His grace no matter what. Love this :)

This was lovely and heartfelt. Easy and never forced rhyming. Captivating phrasing and meaningful words. I particularly liked the 3rd stanza.

Awesome! This piece created a picture of His Truth all the way through as I read this out loud. The rhyme was well done and told the story of Christ beautifully. May you continue to write about His love and forgiveness. So many are in great need.

Amen my friend, what a beautiful poem, good rhyme and flow and the content is wonderful.
"Oh, my Father, please forgive them,
for they know not what they do."

Hi, debi. Very inspirational and so very well written, my friend I particularly liked this:

"Oh, my Father, please forgive them,
for they know not what they do."
When someone gives you that much love,
can you doubt He'll see you through?"

    Hi Bob,
    Thank you for the encouraging review. Thank you for pointing out what you like.

    Hmm. I distinctly remember reading "Beth's Surprise" and was pretty sure I wrote a review and gave it a six. I can't explain what happened.
