The Garden of the Wound

Today's Word of Wonder: Redemption

The Scripture Spotlight for Today

"But he was pierced for our transgressions... and by his wounds we are healed." > — Isaiah 53:5

The Devotion: The Garden of the Wound

On This Friday, the Garden is silent. The True Vine has been cut down. It looks like a failure, but it is actually the ultimate Redemption.

The WOW Moment today is realizing that the Gardener was Pruned First. He doesn't ask you to endure anything He didn't first endure for you. The scars on the Vine are the very thing that allow us to be grafted in. Your wounds don't disqualify you; they are evidence that you belong to Him.

• Action: Think of a spiritual scar you carry. Instead of hiding it, thank God for it, knowing that He can turn even your wounds into healing for others.

• Prayer: "Lord, thank You for being broken so I could be whole. I rest in the shadow of the Cross. Amen."
