The first 4 lines of the song,
“How Many Kings”
by Down Here-
should be enough to make anyone fall to their knees
in abandoned love-
surrendering to the unrestrained Love He has demonstrated to the world!
How many kings stepped down from their thrones?
How many lord have abandoned their homes?
How many “greats” have become the least for Me
“How many gods have poured out their hearts to
romance a world that was torn all apart?”
Isn’t this the question of the ages?
There have been many gods-
from the Greek and Roman gods and goddesses
to the present day gods of Buddha, Allah, Mohammed, and thousands more-
There is NO god like our God-
Every other “god” demands working your way into their favor for acceptance
Only The Great I AM that I AM
says,
“You are broken, fallen, corrupted, sinful-
I WILL REDEEM YOU
SAVE YOU
FIX YOU
RESTORE YOU
LOVE YOU
SET MY SEAL UPON YOU
HOLD YOU IN MY HAND
JUSTIFY YOU
SANCTIFY YOU
CARE FOR YOU
LIBERATE YOU
HEAL YOU
RANSOM YOU
PROTECT YOU
STRENGTHEN YOU
SHELTER YOU
FORGIVE YOU
BY
DYING FOR YOU!
Only One did that for me- for you!

Thank God He emptied Himself in order to fill our emptiness! Bless your heart, Cindy! I so appreciate your insights and reminders, one blog after another 🙂
Thank God for His commitment to His creation- I’ve said it before but- I would have wiped us all out and started all over- what a patient, compassionate, beyond understanding God we have!!!! love you Edy!
That single question and it’s answer separates Jesus from every other political or religious leader that has or will ever live. Many kings have died tragic deaths, but only one King did that for me…
Hallelujah! What a Savior!
The words to this blog will make a beautiful prayer. I’m gonna pray it!!
Thank you, Cindy. So beautiful the way you presented Him with such a praise offering.
Love,
Julie
Thanks Julie! Every morning- His offering of love is just bubbling in my soul! when I think of His goodness and what He’s done for us!!!!! There just aren’t enough words- Oh for a thousand tongues to sing! hugs
Amen and Hallelujah! The truth shall set you free! This was sooooo inspiring! Thank you, Cindy… and thank you for your encouragement~sent my edit in. Hope to have it published by the first of next week…we’re going to the cabin for a 3 day weekend. Sending love!
Glory Mid! I just know we’re barely beginning to see His love & glory! Let me know when the book is published- I want to buy it and more importantly help promote it 🙂 Hugs and He is Risen!
I guess that’s why they call it undeserved grace. We are broken and fallen without him, undeserving of his love and kindness. “but why were still sinners Christ died for us.” Thanks for that
reminder this Easter!

The hope of Glory! What a Savior! What a King! The absolute love and sacrifice- the victory over death, hell, and the grave! I want to shout!!!! hugs Micah
