Wow, does this one ever nail me between the eyes!

We never know how in God's wisdom, the breadth and depth of our cross bearing will enable us to cross over to victory on the other side.

I am always looking for shortcuts and to abbreviate the trial. It isn't like God has left us to bear the cross alone and in our own strength without His divine resurrection power!

If only we would remember, He only gives us what we can handle.  When it gets too tough, we need to ask for His help, not act on our own!

Awesome!!

We complain about the cross we bear, but don't realize it is preparing us for the dip in the road that God can see and we cannot.
 
Whatever your cross, whatever your pain, there will always be sunshine, after the rain....

Perhaps you may stumble, perhaps even fall; But God's always ready, to answer your call....

He knows every heartache, sees every tear, a word from His lips, can calm every fear...

Your sorrows may linger, throughout the night, But suddenly vanish, dawn's early light...

The Savior is waiting, somewhere above, to give you His grace, and send you His love...

In Him,
Rick
