Thoughts for Today

(4)   MONDAY! Well, good morning to all!!! Here it is ,, another week of work, play, or just sit around, and enjoy the warmth of each other, or the warmth of the Lord, and nap, snack, or watch some t.v. ,,, for it is cold here, and the above sounds good to me...how about you? Stay warm, and cozy ,,, unless you have to work,, and if so ,, be careful on the roads.. God Bless to all!!!! "THE CROSS" MINISTRY! A QUIET YET POWERFUL MESSAGE!!!! We at "The Cross" Ministry,, love to give out those little crosses to put in your yard,, as a symbol of your belief, and that you don't mind letting all know you believe in Jesus Christ.... and we don't profess that ,,, that little wooden cross will save you,,,, but it will make you feel different when you get one and pound it into the ground, in your yard , or under your mailbox...it is just the feeling I get,, you may get a different one... but a feeling, you will get ,,, I can guarantee that!!!! and it will be yours within your own heart,,, known only to you and your God! Now , back to that little white cross! No , that little wooden cross will not save you... BUT,,THE CROSS OF JESUS CHRIST,,, is the ONLY way to GOD! Jesus died on the cross,, for you, for me , for this world and their sins,, and yes,,, I guess I will have to break some bubbles this morning,, & yes their are plenty of sinners out there, and I am one, but I am forgiven by the grace of Jesus! Look at the little cross as a symbol,, for when you look at it, it is wooden, and painted white, and IT IS EMPTY,,,, no one hangs on it, Jesus died on one like it,,, then buried, and rose,,, alive and then ascended to sit on the right side of God, The Father.... so it is a symbol,, and only the reality of the history, and the reason of it,,, that will help you, if you believe and accpet Him... and this is what Jesus said to His disciples: Luke 9:23-And He said to them all,, if any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily and follow me.. That is that cross I mention of "with-in"! So this "little cross" is only a symbol of your belief, and your commitment,, only accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior can save you, but by and trough The Cross of Jesus Christ can you ever get to Heaven,, so folks, I ask for you to stand up for Jesus ,, and for God with the Cross within each of us first and foremost,, and place a little cross in your yard,, only if you want everyone to know of your belief, and your commitment.... These little white crosses are free,, so if you are close to a "Cross Ministry Garden",, pick one up, if you don't live close , let me know ,, we will get you one... go have a great day, praise God Almighty for your all,, and pray for our continue success of this Ministry,,, and all the credit and all the glory goes to our God! Lord, thank You for this Ministry, and I pray for Your continued blessing of it... amen\ John HIcks
