I praise You because you CAME. and You came yourself. Not an angelic envoy, not a comity of smart prophets and priests. Buy You Yourself.

I praise You because You immersed yourself into my world, with all its brazenness and beauty. There is nothing I can throw back at You, like a hurting adult or a confused teenager and say: ‘You have no idea…’

I praise You because You showed me what the Father looks like.

I praise You because You taught me what grace looks like.

I praise You because You did not have favorites, mixing with ‘elites’ as well as the pariahs.

I praise You because You chose humility instead of celebrity.

I praise you because You showed compassion in action, not just in teaching.

I praise You because You did not give-up but went all the way.

I praise You because You are the only One I can call King and Friend.

I praise You because You are alive.

I praise you because You are the giver of an unexpected number of chances.

I praise You because You took residence in me and touch others through me.

I praise You because You will return in a glorious display.

Just saying…..
