Day 88 - Red {Five Minute Friday}

Red.

My favorite color.

That deep, rich shade of red called crimson. I'm so in love with that color. The warmth, the depth.

You see it everywhere in nature, that crimson shade. There's a depth that comes from natural colors that you can't quite achieve with dyes and artificial products.

The skin of a red delicious apple. The flesh of a ripe plum. The juice from red grapes. The berries on a holly branch. The petals of the poinsettia plant.

Makes me wonder if one of God's favorite colors might be red.

And one more thing comes to mind....

The blood of The Lamb.

The precious blood of Christ, willingly spilled for me. Blood brought forth by nails that pierced His flesh, that dripped from the thorns in His head. The blood that paid my way to Heaven.

Red. It's my very favorite color.

I am thankful for a God who died for me.

I am thankful for a God who came back to prove His power.

I am thankful for a God who accepts me wholly for who I am and paid the price for my sins.

I am thankful for a God who so beautifully paints in creation with my favorite color.
