Embrace the Cross and be Inspired to Follow with a Purpose

Yesterday, I wrote about the sermon from Sunday at the church I attend. In reviewing and thinking about the message, the point I took away is that we need to have initiative to be a follower rather than just a fan of Jesus. Here is a video I found that inspires this same message: Embrace the Cross – Steve Green

This day with God, let us embrace the cross. In our prayers, ask to have the direction to follow with a purpose like Jesus. It may not always be easy but let us respond without hesitation to the call and go wherever Jesus asks us to go. Carrying the cross takes courage, self discipline, and hours of work but we are all where we are for a purpose; to live our life a certain way and write what we write so others can understand what God is like.
