“If you want to know the depth of God’s love, then you have to embrace the cross”.............
God loves us so much that he sacrificed his only son for our sins so that we may have eternal life. Jesus embraced his Father’s will as he painfully hung on the cross for us, brutally tortured and betrayed. Still he loved us enough to embrace death on that same cross so that we could live. His love was so unconditional that he even asked our Father in Heaven to forgive those who trespassed against him as he hung slowly dying on that cross. For Jesus understood that they lacked knowledge about who He was and why He was sent to earth as a Savior for them, you, and me. The precious blood of Jesus Christ, running down the sides of the cross made peace. It was so that we may be redeemed. He did it for us. He did it for grace. He did it for love.
Friends, can you imagine what this world would be if we would acknowledge the depth of God’s love by embracing the cross? What if we showed unconditional love to our fellow brother and sisters? How wonderful it would be if we were able to carry our cross daily without complaining but rather asking that God’s will be done. So great it would be if we could show forgiveness and pray for those who trespass against us, not once but time and time again. It would truly be amazing if we would sacrifice our desires for humankind. Imagine the victory that we would all walk in if we would embrace what happened on the cross that day at Calvary . Friends, God loved us then and he loves us still, his love is deeper than the deepest downward distance, never-ending. Let us embrace the cross. Let us remember what happened on the cross for us. Let us often praise God for giving His only begotten son for us and thank Jesus for willingly carrying the cross on our behalf. THAT’S LOVE!!!!!!!!
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life" (John 3:16)

John 3:16 was the verse bible verse i every memorized at the marie savage center when i was 6 years old!
Amen to the post! :)
This post reminds me of an email that was passed around. It was a cartoon where all of these people were carrying a cross on their backs. Well, the cross become bothersome and heavy for this one guy. It was so long that it drug against the ground, so he found a way to cut it. He was happy because his load was lighter and he could walk much better. That was until he got to a cliff. Everyone else used their crosses as a bridge to get to the other side. Since he cut his, his cross was too short leaving him unable to get across.
Oh what we would be like if we could just carry our cross until the purpose is fulfilled and God allows us to move forward.
Good work, Keisha!
