Beauty for Ashes!

April 3, 2012

My head remains down and focused at His feet as the surrounding fire rages all around me. I replace my vision of the struggle with a vision of the cross instead. I do not see the struggle ~ I see Christ who has already conquered the struggle. I am choosing not to focus on the flames, but rather on Him, because His blood will extinguish every one of those flames and beauty WILL rise from the ashes!

A very vivid replay of what some Chrisitan martyrs have actually experienced. Reminding us of the ultimate sacrifice which we commorate during this Blessed Holy Week and Eastertide. Thank you, dearest JessieJ!

Keep your eyes on Him. The world crumbles, but the cross stands.
