The message of the cross is foolish to those who are headed for destruction! But we who are being saved know it is the very power of God (1 Corinthians 1:18; NLT).
My cross is my wi-fi connection
To you,
For the cross which I hold
Is your cross, which we share.
It guides, helps, and teaches me,
Comforts me, too,
And constantly links me to you, Lord,
In prayer.
Pray constantly (1 Thessalonians 5:17; NIV).
