carry your cross; He carried His

Sick and broken

A world cries for relief.

Vile and vicious

A world dies.

Ugly and repulsive

A world retches

At a time when we should be rejoicing in the sacrifice made for us by a loving God, we see ugliness, crime, anger, hate, and disobedience to God's word. Think before you speak. Pray before you react. Speak gratitude before you ask for more. Share the gospel. Teach those who do not know God.

Look to the cross-what the world needs now

spring is on the way, brighten up your mind, heart and soul

Live all the way into today

Not on the back of yesterday

Or the edge of tomorrow

 

Pray with gratitude not greed

Believe with your whole self

Have more faith than fear

message of the cross

as the season of lent continues

Follow the Way of the Cross

everyone has their own cross to bear

 

 

God sets me free

I bind myself to doubt

God sets me free

I gag myself from truth

God sets me free

I imprison myself with guilt

God sets me free

I chain myself to fear

God sets me free

I confine myself to worry

God sets me free

I lock out his love

God sets me free

I bridle myself from faith

God sets me free

I suppress hope

 

Why do I do this? Who do I allow bad things to kill my spirit? Why am I stuck in this routine I hate? Why don’t I jump off the carrousel? Nearly 5 months gone and no real clarity except to understand it takes effort and must be found through God. Maybe it’s a life-long process but why do we not learn our lessons earlier in life when we have years to perfect it? Such is life—a learning process.

 

Psalm 39:4 show me O Lord … let me know how fleeting life is. [Will it matter or will I just keep wasting time?]

 

I know the past 6 years have stolen 10+ but can I recover? Only if I give it my all and allow God to do the work within me.
