.... to follow Him....


Picking up my cross daily...
...to follow Him... 
...dying to self... 
...to follow Him.... 
...putting others first... 
...to follow Him...




Surrendering my hopes...
... to follow Him...
...laying down my dreams...
... to follow Him...
...suffering willingly...
... to follow Him...
...quietly enduring...
... to follow Him...

... no wonder to the world all of this is foolishness....

To us though.. all of this flows
 from a deep abiding love for Him...
... a gratitude that cannot be put into words...
... a joy that is never ending...

To know Him more each day...
... to join Him in His sufferings..
... to find rest in Him alone...
... to draw close and gaze into His tender loving eyes...

A miracle too wonderful for words...
... communion of the hearts...
... a love story with no end...
... eternally connected...
... beyond anything ever imagined...

Thank You, Lord...who am I, that you are mindful of me...
I will always serve you with all my heart, soul and mind..
... with all that I am and all that I have...
...no greater joy.... I love You, Jesus...
