The Cross

"He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him up for us all, how shall He not also freely give us all things? Romas 8:32

How long has it been since you looked at the cross - thought about it, really reflected on God giving up His Son to the cross - for us, for you? Consider that thought in your busy and hectic day. Consider the sacrifice to save you from your sins and to justify you before Almighty God.

The reality is you are considered righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ, if, you believe in Him. This 'believing in Him' is not a one time deal but an everyday yearning, longing, hoping, trusting, and transforming Way. If you are 'in the Way' - in Christ - then ask what you will and His promises state He will grant it.

For, if you are 'in the Way' then your will is not your own, your thoughts are not your own and your heart is in tune with your Heavenly Father. When our hearts mirror that of Christ will He not give us all things freely?

Would you give a spoiled-rotten child anything or everything that child asks for? I hope not!

And so, it's not what we ask but the heart behind the asking. It is the transformation of your heart that is the basis for the Cross.

'Heavenly Father, its too often that I need reminding of the Cross of Christ, the grace of His great covenent with me and to know that you care so greatly. Thank you for loving me and for giving of yourself so freely to set me free in you!'
