There was a man who was asked to fulfill a great task. An assignment far beyond giving someone a trac. He set out to accomplish a Father's heart desire. A sacrificial love that cost Him more than obedience, it cost Him His life! This ultimate sacrifice was attached to a purpose. It breached a gap that enables us to receive His love and forgiveness and grow in relationship with Him.
"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life." John 3:16
Remember that in all you do for your family and for the Lord, our sacrifice of time does not go in vain. Whatever task/assignment may be presented to you daily, know that its attached with a purpose. One that cultivates love and growth within and in all our relationships!
Do not be afraid to step out of your comfort zone for the Father is with you, giving you strength to overcome each step daily as He did with His Son.
Today is 3/16! What a wonderful reminder of His Sacrificial Love for us all! I pray that those who know Him will continue their journey as they carry their cross and those who have yet to know Him will embrace the work of THE CROSS!

The Ultimate Sacrifice
by M. Rodriguez
I can’t imagine the pain you felt within,
of sending your Son to give His life for our sin.
Yet you knew this plan must come to pass,
To redeem and conquer us from the enemy’s grasp.
You saw Him descend, transformed into man,
to come and inhabit this sinful land.
Prepared to endure the rejection of some,
you gave Him the strength to overcome.
You gazed from above to see what was done,
They mocked, and tortured your only Son.
Each time they flogged Jesus, you clenched your eyes,
Your heart was grieved and you cried deep inside.
Yet His love and obedience to fulfill your will,
He continued His journey with His cross up the hill.
His Spirit He surrendered on the cross where He hung,
“Father, forgive them, for they don’t know what they’ve done.”
The prophecy fulfilled of the ONE who’s to come,
Our battle is over, Redemption was won.
So I’ll take up my cross each given day,
Like your Son Jesus, I will walk in YOUR way.

Aren't you glad Jesus did not respond to the Father's request with "You Mean Now!"?
Today is 3/16! What a wonderful reminder of His Sacrificial Love for us all! I pray that those who know Him will continue their journey as they carry their cross and those who have yet to know Him will embrace the work of THE CROSS!
