Wooden Cross

Deuteronomy 6:5-9 NIV
"Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates."
You found the gift that was left for you. It is a little wooden cross! Many people wear crosses on a necklace or as a symbol on their shirt. Does wearing a cross mean you are a follower of Christ? The cross to a Christian is a symbol of salvation, meaning that Jesus died on a cross to be the final sacrifice for all our sins. Those who believe in Jesus have forgiveness because of what He did for us. It really is an amazing gift that God gave us if you stop to think about it!! God tells us to love Him with all our heart, soul, mind and strength....that's everything we've got! Some people have the knowledge of what Jesus did in their minds but they don't believe in their hearts and lack the faith in their soul.

Maybe today will be the day that you will see that God is calling you to salvation and you will use your heart, mind,soul and strength to love Him and follow Him. If that is the case, then wear this cross as a reminder to walk in all His ways, and be obedient to His word. If you made that decision today, please notify us so we can help you grow in your new life!
