A cross is always deserted
because it is a place of shame and desolation
but because of the cross
we were delivered
to God's love and salvation
The greatest sign of love is not the heart
but the cross
because the heart stops loving when it stops beating
but the man on the cross
never seizes in loving and forgiving
Embrace thy cross
You are not just embracing shame and desolation
but you are also embracing
God's love and salvation
Which is far greater
Unless you embrace your cross
You will never see the face of God
Unless you embrace your shame and desolation
You will never see the love and salvation
of the God who never seizes to love
