Christmas Crosses
I never feel like I can give enough,preach enough, love enough, or live enough service to make up for the payment that was so long ago and yet so powerful to my tiny mind.
I long to make a cross that can be equal to the one Jesus bore so I can give Him something for this great treasure.
Maybe Martyrdom is the only way to get that payment set in heaven, to look good on the records and maybe not walk in with my hanging head and my pathetic "goods" I put together throughout my life.
Actually maybe whipping and beating my body into submission is what He would be impressed with?
I want to be radical and give from my veins. But Why do I always feel like "loser Christian"?!
The Lord replied to this wandering heart and thoughts that when I am honest come up more than I realize:
"You are the Light of the World. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid" Matt.5:14
What does that mean Lord?
"Raechel, it means that you are already a winner, you have the gold, you are the prize, I sought you, I loved you and I am the only one who can add significance to a cross. You will only steal my glory by creating your own entrance into heaven there is only One who is exalted and One who is praised and One who the Angels bow down and cry "Holy, Holy, Holy is the Lamb that was slain." To come to my world with a great entrance is mocking the way I came to yours ..I came lowly, humble and I left lowly and humble. You are already covered under my cross to make your own is to take away from the one I died on. You are a delight just the way you are and you move with the heart of my Spirit, If I can move mountains I can move your heart and I will make sure you are in my will all you need to do is stay close and desire me."
hallelujah!! What a freedom, what a master?! What a wonderful Savior!
That is all I will say may the Lord speak to you through this as He powerfully did to me..Love you all . Rae

Two things that are eerie in their synchronicity. Last Thurs at my first Knee Drill back in Vancouver, someone prayed over me that I had a huge beaming light shining out of my head and with it came the same scripture that you got. And over the weekend, the song, "what a wonderful maker, how majestic a Saviour" was ringing in my head.
God bless you sister with continued revelation of His deep, unconditional, unearned LOVE.
Sooo True. I have been pretty much living under that thought that I am a "loser Christian" and it has come with double the force being a phase 2 student in Vancouver. It is like a fly that has never stopped buzzing over and around my head and now it is twice as loud, twice as big. I recieve the truth that you wrote. Thank you for being obedient big sister! I love you, b
