Hebrews 12:2 “Looking unto JESUS the Author and Finisher of our faith; WHO for the joy that was set before HIM endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of GOD.”
Sacrificially Following!
When will YOU come
reaching down for our souls which we uplift to THEE — both to have and to hold?
To transform and seal till whole in THY image, not partial nor part! Yea, without any blemish!
So don’t let us fail THEE with flesh oft indifferent. Please! Rather correct us till clearly we listen!
So please set our feet upon THEE in stone
for we are grieved when we step outside YOUR own!
As HIServant on this Good Friday memorial reminded to both love and give sacrificially just as CHRIST did,

Devotional: John 19:30 “When JESUS had received the sour wine, HE said, “It is finished,” and HE bowed HIS head and gave up HIS SPIRIT.”
This Good Friday memorial is so vitally important.
As we see the world ever more rapidly turning against JESUS and all who sacrificially follow HIM,
…NOW is the time to be present and accounted for in HIS steps.
We must humbly remember that HE WILLINGLY went to the cross for us.
HIS wasn’t a half-hearted action done grudgingly in any way!
Rather! HE attached the beauty of HIS presence for us to stand within…WHEN!
When we choose to serve relentlessly, anonymously, and sacrificially in HIS footprints.
We remember today all the suffering HE took for us, amen?
We call to mind our privileged responsibility to live, serve and also suffer for the NAME of CHRIST.
As Resurrection Day approaches, so let us look upon the empty Cross today and mentally gaze once more into the Empty Tomb!
We have life eternal because HE is risen indeed!
The victory is ours, the battle is won! It is finished just as HE said!
Therefore let us zealously serve others till HE transforms us completely for Heaven!
Amen and amen.
