Within thy wounds hide me. – Anima Christi
It is not during the times when we were most confident that we experience the deepest intimacy. It is not when we feel most beautiful that we feel the most loved.
On the contrary, it is during the times when we are most down that we feel the warmest embrace. It is during the times when we feel most repulsive that we feel most accepted and cared for.
Our wounds are quite often the very keys that open the path towards true happiness. It is there when we learn what sincerity is, and what true sacrifice means.
Jesus comes right when we feel we do not deserve His gifts. He carries us in His arms and saves us. In our darkest hour, He provides the light and grants us the happiness we have long been searching for.
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live to righteousness. You were healed by his wounds. – 1 Peter 2:24, WEB
