God, I thank you, I thank you, I thank you for being who you are. I'm so thankful that you are who you are. I worship you for being who you are.
Apart from anything you do for anybody, that has to do with God's being. He's worthy. He would be worthy if he had not ever created anything.
He would be worthy. Can you see him sweating in the garden? What was he doing there? What was he doing sweating in that garden? He was being put in the crucible of my damnation. I realize that happened on the cross, but he was having four glimpses of it, and it was causing such oppression to his soul that drops of blood were coming out.
He's put in the crucible and drowned by God, and he did that for me. He did that out of love for you. Remember what he's done for you.
Remember that he's carrying you, and believe him and trust him. He'll carry you right through to glory. There's a strength that you have where two or three gather together and Christ is with you.
No matter how discouraging that is, it is so much more encouraging and more hopeful and more helpful than if you're out there and you're by yourself.
