“Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God. Consider him who endured such opposition from sinners, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart.” Hebrews 12:1-3
Today, I am sharing an entry from Journey Through The Stillness, (My personal spiritual journal.)
January 13, 2011 – Today in my prayer time I keep seeing the image of a previous Stillness, where I step into the road and see Christ coming toward me, carrying the Cross. Today I am asking forgiveness for succumbing to my pride, my vanity. When I enter The Stillness, there He is. I am walking down the road, sinning over and over again. Every time I turn to glance backward, there He is, carrying MY CROSS. He is literally picking up my sins and carrying the weight of them. I will see this image the same no more. Even though I already knew all of this, it just became even more personal, even more undeniable, even more moving. I see it as my call to action, my call to change, my call to stop making everything about me. I am nothing; He is everything. There can be no greater love than His love for me. “My Lord, My God. Forgive me. Do not forsake me.”
