Look to the Cross

[Translate]

dear Weary Christian - Look to the Cross

 

To the Heart that is weary, look to the cross and know that you are not walking this journey alone

To the One that feels unloved, unwanted and invisible, look to the cross and know that you are worth dying for

To the Soul that feels God could never choose you because of all of the horrible things you’ve done, look to the cross and know that God doesn’t see our sins as big and small. To God, sin is sin, regardless of what it is and He choose to love us regardless of our sins.

To the Heart that is broken with grief, look to the cross and know that God knows that pain and cares. He will mend that broken heart for you.  Give Him all of the pieces.

To the Orphan who feels all alone, look to the cross and know that you are an heir to the Throne and your big Brother is none other than Jesus Christ Himself

To the Widow or Widower who feel they have nothing left to give this world, look to the cross knowing that now you have access to the THRONE of Grace and can boldly go before the throne for those around you

To the One fighting chronic illness, look to the Cross and know that you are loved by the Great Physician and giver of Grace.

To the Poor and needy, look to the Cross and know that God knows and will provide for you, just like He knew we’d need a Savior

To the Discouraged, look to the Cross and know that doing God’s will isn’t always easy, but it is always right

To the Wife who longs to feel the life of a child move within her and give birth to that precious child, look to the cross and know that Miracles still happen

Oh Dear Christian look to the Cross! Don’t let fear and the unknown of the future keep you from trusting the Lord in all things! Focus on the gift of the cross, the miracle of Calvary and how God chooses to love us even in our sins.

God loves us just the way we are but He loves us too much to leave us this way!

Keep your eyes on the Cross, keep your mind and heart in the Word of God and keep your faith in Christ as you make your way towards your home in heaven.

To the Heart that is weary, look to the cross & know you are not walking this journey alone https://t.co/W0zwFQ1lgy pic.twitter.com/aZF7Fv12Ur

What are you looking to the cross for dear Christian?

What are you praying for? Trusting Christ for?

What are you letting get in the way of your focus?

      It truly is. The world removes our focus so that doubt and discouragement can creep in. Thanks Tiffani for stopping by

    We do often get too caught up looking at our problem and not the solution don’t we? We forget that this isn’t our forever home and we’re on our way to something more! Thank you for the encouragement 🙂

    Beautiful! Tonight I am looking to the cross–to the great Physician and the giver of grace. This is so encouraging. God will use your words to bless others. God always blesses songs and prose about the cross. My friend wrote a song, “The Cross rises high above it all.” Whatever our need, we can find it there.

      If we never grow in grace then we are not truly experiencing Gods abundant grace.

    Amen! Thanks for sharing this beautiful reminder. Hearing about terror attacks and all sorts of violence, it’s easy to take our eyes off of Jesus. Thank you!

    I saw Grace’s comment and did an empathetic nod. These days with little babies that I’m in can fly by in a stressful hurry if we don’t keep looking toward the Cross. Thank you for this reminder this morning!
