He Who Suffers The Cross... Wears The Crown.
He paid the ransom to free us. 1 Timothy 2:6 We were bought with a price... His Suffering... His Agony... His Death. 1 Corinthians 6:20
.
Funny thing is... He bids us to do the same for others. To take up our cross and follow Him. Matthew 10:38 To Love & Care... To Help & Heal... To Give Till It Hurts..,. To Be A Sample Of The Kingdom Of Heaven.
.
He has not promised sky's ever blue
Flower strewn pathways all our lives through
He has not promised Sun Without Rain
Joy Without Sorrow... Peace Without Pain.
.
BUT...
.
He has promised strength for each day
Grace for all our trials
Rest after labor... Help From Above
Unfailing Sympathy... Undying Love
.
He who suffers the cross... wears the crown.
.
You want to be great in God's Kingdom...
Take Up Your Cross & Follow Him!
