Song: “Lead Me to the Cross” by Hillsong
This song reminds me of the things that I treasure in life and points me back to where my focus should really be, at the cross. I tend to hold tightly onto things in my life (my husband, children, security when money is in the bank, my time, schedule, etc….) While all those things are good things to spend my time and energy on when they become my focus I am not allowing God to work through my life. If my heart reflects the love of God then all the other “stuff” will fall into place. When I focus on serving Him then I am a better wife, Mom, and steward of my money and time. Sometimes I need a gentle reminder of the top priorities in my life. Thank you Jesus for sacrificing your life on the cross so I can live and reach out to others.
Song: “At the Cross” by Hillsong
I am thankful for the cross and the sacrifice Jesus made on the it for me. He paid the penalty for my sin and He overcame the grave. After having children I know what it is to make sacrifices for the ones you love and yet the sacrifices I have made are so minor compared to the pain of the cross. You know you are loved when someone willingly gives His life to save you.
