Sheryl Aeschliman posted this quote from Mark Buchanan on her blog, God is Singing Over You, recently.
I thought I would share it with you all.
"I am the tax-collector whose house Jesus  had to enter, so that salvation could invade it.
I am the leper who cried out to Jesus on his way past  Samaria, so that he could speak wholeness into me and then woo me back to  worship him.
I  am the lame man whose friends lowered me down through the rafters, so that Jesus  could speak forgiveness and healing to me.
I am  the invalid Jesus found in a dark part of town, bed-ridden and complaining, so  that he could say to me, “Get up, take up your mat, and walk.”
I  am the prodigal he saw a long way off, who ran to me, threw a feast for me, put  his robe and ring and sandals on me.
I am the elder brother who refused to join the party,  and so he went out to me and begged me to come in.  
I am Lazarus, the one he raised from the dead and then  invited to recline with him at the table.
I  am not worthy to bless the cup, except He makes me so. 
At great cost, all by  his own doing, Jesus makes me his own, loves me without condition, forgives me  without remainder, 
places his own name on  me, 
 puts his own Spirit in me, 
and  goes ahead to prepare a place for me.
He’s made me a chosen people, a holy nation, a royal  priesthood, one who belongs to God.
I am the one Jesus loves.
As are you."
~Mark Buchanan
