The Sheep skin

Our lives are filled with a couple of unfortunate things. Stuff we did not hope to see, but thankful nevertheless as they are much needed.

One of them is a sheep skin. As muscles wane and bones protrude this soft skin offers comfort and makes sleep easier.

This morning i was thinking about this particular sheep. The soft fur was not shaven off and made into comfy slippers, no, this was the real thing - a sheep had offered up his life for this.

This sounds a bit melodramatic, and i am no vegetarian, but somehow it really touched me. Jesus was offered for our sins, pain and suffering. He, through His offering made it possible for us to be with God. He gave His life.

He was the perfect Lamb.

And even though, here right now, no healing has taken place He soothes and brings comfort. He knows our pain. He helps us carry it.

One day there will be no more pain, no more tears because of His sacrifice. Until then, I cling to Him.

Bella, thankful for the Perfect Lamb
