Born to Suffer and to Die

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on January 28, 2022

Born to suffer and to die
Because He loved
Undefiled, He lived midst sin
Because of love

Healed the sick and raised the dead
Through wondrous love
Set captives free and preached the truth
In endless love

Despised and spat upon and mocked
By those He loved
Beaten till His bones showed through
His healing love

Resurrected from the grave
For those He loved
Bore the scars inflicted
By the ones He loved

Wore a crown of thorns, shoved there
By those He loved
Nailed upon a cross, He died
For those He loved

Ascended into Heaven
Done, His deed of love
Now He dwells within the hearts
Of those He loves

‘Peace I Leave with You

Published by Hillary van Eyssen on January 4, 2022

‘Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.’

John 14:27

Peace is not an absence of trouble. It’s finding peace in the eye of the storm. It’s walking in peace in the midst of turmoil. This peace is a peace that surpasses all understanding. [Phil. 4:7] This is a peace that guards our hearts and minds, so that we do not stress by dwelling on the problem, but live in peace by being focused on the solution as we keep our eyes on Jesus, the Author and finisher of our faith.
