My hope for you

Poetry speaks to our minds and hearts and is meant to communicate more than the sum of its words. It is an apt expression of our walk with the Lord. I encourage you to forward this link to those you love. I pray this poetry leads you into reflection and prayer but I also want to start a conversation. You, too, have something to share with others-not only in person, but also here. Your experience is yours to give away to build up and learn from others in the Body of Christ. Share the word that you hear, the experiences you have lived. We are all part of the New Evangelization.If you also want to contact me by email, feel free: genefirn@yahoo.com

YOUR SUFFERING IS NOT IN VAIN WHEN JOINED TO MINE...IT IS ONLY WITH THE STRENGTH  OF MY SPIRIT THAT YOU CAN CARRY YOUR CROSS... ONLY BY GRACE IS IT POSSIBLE TO CARRY YOUR BURDEN AND HAVE IT BEAR FRUIT WHICH YOU MAY PERHAPS NOT SEE IN YOUR LIFETIME BUT BY FAITH AND HOPE LINKED TO MY FRUITFUL PASSION...DEATH AND RESURRECTION YOU ATTAIN THE GOOD YOU SO DESIRE...IT IS GOOD THAT YOU KNOW YOUR WEAKNESS AND FEEL THE 
UNBEARABLE WEIGHT OF YOUR CROSS FOR IT IS ONLY BY MY POWER THAT YOUR BURDEN CAN BECOME LIGHT...IT IS ONLY BY THE INFINITE POWER OF MY SPIRIT THAT IT IS POSSIBLE FOR YOU TO CARRY YOUR CROSS AND HAVE IT BEAR FRUIT....IT IS ONLY BY MY SPIRIT OF LOVE THAT YOUR CROSS OF SORROW BECOMES YOUR CROSS OF LOVE AND THE  PEACE AND JOY OF MY RESURRECTION  CAN REST UPON YOU,.SO KNOW THAT EACH DAY MY GRACE IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TO CARRY YOUR BURDEN WITH ME UP  CALVARY'S HILL WITH A STRENGTH BEYOND YOUR OWN AND A JOY AND PEACE WHICH IS BEYOND YOUR NATURE AS YOU TRUST IN MY LOVE FOR YOU AND YOUR FAMILY AND HOPE IN MY FAITHFULNESS AND DEPENDON MY SPIRIT FOR ALL YOUR NEEDS....SO ..ONE DAY AT A TIME..ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE  ALL YOU NEED...WHATEVER IT IS..IT SHALL BE YOURS....FOR MY GRACE IS SUFFICIENT FOR YOU
