Secrets of the Cross



When I breathe in God, I breathe in the atmosphere I was made for.
The world may be deeply disturbed but in Christ I find undisturbed rest.
There is nothing one can do to ad or subtract from each day,
God has given all and all is sent each day by God.

When one sins, don't focus on the fault for that can be worse than the fault itself.
Simply focus on Christ and Him crucified.  Christ will take care of the rest.
You can not strip yourself for in doing so simply makes matter worse.
Allow Christ to clothe you and let His cross mold you.

The cross of Christ is not to be endured but desired.
The deeper the cross intersects with our lives,
the greater our hidden secrets disappear.
We can not bear the cross so its only by the Lord's strength,
we can carry it at all.

The cross is where we experience God in the depths of love.
The cross does the work and will even bring Christ to you.
In our weaknesses and inabilities, our true well spring is only found in Christ.
No matter how great the loss, greater will be the gain of knowing Christ,
intimately and completely in the storm of the cross.
