Matthew 16:24 “Then JESUS told HIS disciples, “If anyone would come after ME, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow ME.”
Before, then After!
Please do not relieve those whose future potential will intersect such who believe in what’s false.
Yea LORD! May it be their lives reach full extension to speak to those Lost who yet think they’re so wise!
By YOUR SPIRIT then use me — continuing onward — to show those in darkness their own empty hands.
For it is with praise I raise this soul’s encounter; my cross YOU took from me…and nailed YOURSELF on!
So cross my path with theirs to point to YOUR scars which YOU willingly took to redeem them from Hell!
As HIServant without nail scars now carrying my own cross,

Devotional: Matthew 10:38 “And whoever does not take his cross (daily) and follow ME is not worthy of ME.”
“Before, then After!” is a chronological devotion which points to CHRIST’s death, burial and resurrection BEFORE we were born.
HE indeed took the nails for us!
But now, well AFTER HE has ascended back into Heaven and given us the HOLY SPIRIT…
…we must each take up our own cross and follow HIM in the very footprints HE’s left us to follow!
Amen and amen!
