"The cross that I wear..."
The cross I wear around my neck is not there for show, nor is it the object of my worship.
I would not be lost without it, though I do like it.
I do not believe it has some mystical power, nor does it protect me.
The cross that I wear reminds me of the great love that God has for me.
Christ's gift of eternal life is made real to me each time I look down at the cross or feel it lightly resting on my chest.
In difficult times, I look at the cross and feel warmth and comfort.
From its gentle reminder I draw strength when I am weary, refuge when I need to rest.
Whether I wear my cross or not, God is with me, but sometimes it is nice to have a small reminder.
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.
Psalm 46:1
Heaven
