Be the cross on which He is nailed upon!!!!

during this season of lent we experience a day to day conversion as we meditate on the mistery of His unconditional love. how can 1 love so much to the point of giving up His life for His beloved.i guess He showed us the true meanin of love..........to love is to lay down ones life for for his beloved. that is what love is all about....not only loving until it hurts but even if it hurts and to go on loving through the hurts....love has no boundaries and should have no boundaries. if we are not ready to love as He does then there is no point in loving at all for that love if it is not through Him is worthless.
in this day by day journey in lent i have i have been rediscoverin the meanin of dying with Him...many always say that we must dye with Christ on the cross but i say let us be the cross on which he is nailed upon.
as the nails pierces His hands it cannot help but pierce ours as well. eventhough we feel the excrutiating pain, we know that His hands is fasten tighly on ours. Hence he will show us how to be instruments os His love by journeyin hand in han with us.
as the nails pierces His feet,it pierces ours as well. with this we know that we are walkin with His feet and he will guide us every step of the way. the painful feet remind us that our journey will not b easy but through it all, pain personifies love.
as He leans back the crown of thorns piecers our head as well....this is a reminder that our mind is united with his.we think like Him therrefore we act and love like him.the pain reminds us that many will persecute our thinkin like Christ but have no fear for he is with us.
as the lance pierces his side our side is pierced as well.witht his His blood flows in us and God and man are united even more.as it flows it cleanses us of all stain and makes us worthy to carry out his will.
sufferin with Him is not easy but it is so worthwhile. i am given the chance to not only love him and carry out his love to others...but also to suffer with his. this completes the act of being Christ-like. we are called to know, love and serve Him in all aspect but we never want to suffer with him.
in this lent season we must embrace the love that suffering brings and the more wefind joy and love through sufferin...the more we draw closer to being trnasformed in His likeness. i am so far off from this but its a constant journey of baby steps. its a consistant act of conversion that leads me closer to my sufferin Lord.
Lord hide in your wounds that i may never leave your side.....
allow me to kiss your wounds so that my lips be cleanse of all that is not you.
let me be the cross on which your mangled body is nailed upon so that i may be a worthy soul to suffer with u
never leave me Lord for i will never leave u.........
