Are You Holding Back?

Are you holding back the Love

 that Christ gave to you?

Are you treating others the

 way HE would want you to?

What message of the cross

 to others do you proclaim?

Is it one of humility and honor to Jesus’ name?

Is there someone whom you’ve

 withheld Christ’ love today?

You avoid this person.

And  choose to “go the other way…”

The Spirit of God has been

 tugging at your heart…

This is where the essence of

Christianity really starts!

All of our sorrow, pain and sin

 Christ bore on the cross.

Without him...  Every one of us

 would certainly be lost!

Many times we tend to play these “games.”

“Choosing” whom we’ll love and “avoid.”

 We know their names.

While reading 1 Corinthians chapter 13…

Does this scripture mean “anything?”

If it did, we’d be more careful with how we live.

And learn the power there is in the words; “I forgive!”

If this message has lost it’s

 meaning in your daily walk.

Then you and Jesus really need to talk!

Total surrender to Jesus and forgiveness is the key!

In being his true follower…  And set free!

Bring everything to the cross

 and lay it at Jesus’ feet.

And experience a life of victory…. 

 And not defeat!
