Lord - I thank you for Your many Amazing exchanges -

Of which some are -

Our sins - for Your Righteousness - 

Our sorrows - for Your Joy - Our 

Sickness - for Your Healing - Our misery  and 

Woe - for all the gifts of Happiness and Blessings -

That  You so generously bestow -  for every

Man and woman - girl and boy .

Your Strength - for all our weakness -  Your  

Kindness - for our spite - Your Peace in the midst 

Of turmoil - and - our wrongs - for Your 

Perfect Right .

Our poverty - for Your Plenty - Our evil -

For Your Good - Your Understanding and 

Compassion - when we are misunderstood - 

Your Help in times of trouble -  Your Life -

In place of death -  Your Hope - in  times of

Hopelessness - Your Calm - in times of 

Stress - Your Rest when we are weary -  Your 

Love - instead of hate - Your Beauty - for our

Ugliness - Our transgressions - for Your Grace -

Your Plenty - for our barrenness - Your Peace -

Instead of strife - Your Glory for our shameful rags -

Our death - for Your Abundant Life .

 """""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

And so I could go on and on ...  because -

I know - that there are many more things that  I 
Could mention - it is true - but the greatest thing 
I thank You for - is Your exchange of my life - 
For Yours - and for making me Brand New  .

I was the one who should be punished - who 
Deserved the nails and the cross - I was the one 
Who should have suffered death - and Hell and 
Loss .

But You took all the punishment - willingly for me - so that -
One day - I will look into Your lovely face - knowing 
That Your great Exchange - has truly set me 
Free. 

Now that's what I call ....

Amazing Grace ....

God's Riches At Christ's Expense ....

Paid in Full ....

Who could ask for more ? ....

What An Exchange ! 

""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

God's exchange rate is far more than we could ever 
Imagine .

But are you prepared to receive it ?..

Just ask Him Today ..Dear Lord - please exhange my 

heart for Yours ..Amen 


God Bless you all 

Stella ><
