ON THE CROSS=Of the Lord=No matter how much

SUFFERING Jesus experienced=He kept going=He

KEPT PERSEVERING=I hope I can do it too=Maybe I can=IF

Our Holy Father God=and Jesus=CONTINUE TO CARRY ME

 

“He shielded him=and cared for him=He guarded him=as

The apple=of his eye=like an eagle=that stirs up=

Its nest=and hovers over its young=that spreads its wings=

To catch them=AND CARRIES THEM ALOFT”                                                     Deuteronomy 32:10-11

Follow me=Cannot be my disciple”                                                                             Luke 10:27

 

“CARRY each other’s burdens=and in this way=you

Will fulfill=the law of Christ”                                                                                     Galatians 6:2

 

Jesus was=THE LORD=is the LORD of us all=and is

THE PERFECT EXAMPLE=of strength and grace=and the model

For SUFFERING=He taught us=HOW to do it=with DIGNITY=He

Is MY EXAMPLE=He is my HERO=Just trying to CARRY MY CROSS=as

BEST as I can=RIDING on his coat tails=the coattails of the CROSS

 

RIDING on the LORD’S STRENGTH=trying to FOLLOW the LORD’S

EXAMPLE=as best as I can

 

“Whoever does not=take UP THEIR CROSS=and follow me=is

Not worthy of me=Whoever finds their life=will lose it=and

Whoever loses their life for my sake=will find it”                                                                Matthew 10:38

 

“May I never boast=EXCEPT in the CROSS of our Lord=Jesus

Christ=through which the world=has been crucified to me=and I
