Let me show you a way of life that is best of all (1 Corinthians 12:31; NLT).
Lord,
Did you choose the finest cross?
The sharpest nails?
The quickest death?
Did you select the gentlest way
To take your final breath?
No, you endured the roughest cross,
The bluntest nails,
The foulest death:
For us, you faced the darkest way
To take your final breath.
May I bear my cross, like you,
Accept the nails,
Embrace my death,
And gladly share your way of love
Until my final breath.
I will praise my God to my last breath (Psalm 104:33; NLT).
May I have the humility to bear whatever the world puts on me for my Lord, that I may follow Him, Amen.

Amen. May I take up my cross and follow Him. Blessings, sister Ruth.
