I wear a cross everyday and I can honestly say…I always feel a bit more grounded when I put it on.
If I happen to leave the house and realize I forgot it, I feel a little empty.
What does that mean?
Why do I feel empty without my cross?
Why do I feel vulnerable, yet never really stop to think about or question why?
I think this passage explains it beautifully…
“The cross is not merely a symbol — it is power.”
It’s power to remember He walks with us.
It’s power when I grasp it and whisper quick prayers of gratitude throughout my day.
It’s power, even when I get frustrated…especially on the road. (Ok…I admit it, at least once a day it takes extreme effort to remember we are all God’s children😉).
It’s power in support of our spiritual growth.
And…it’s a powerful reminder of who I am, who we all are…
Beloved daughters and sons of God.
This lent I’ll proudly wear my cross as the spiritual armor it is and I’ll and pray…
“to resist temptation, cling to grace, and be transformed.”
