Poem:  JOURNEY TO THE CROSS

A seed of faith was planted as my journey just began.
Starting with my baby steps directed towards the Son!
Each day grew so much better. Though trials were a part.
I grew closer to my Father and learned more about His heart.
Transforming my life gently, I rested in His grace.
Trusting in His promises, I began to see His face.
My journey grew much sweeter. For his heart was now my own.
Living each day for my Father, until He calls me home.
There my journey will be complete, and my prize I will have won.
When He looks into my eyes to say, "Well done my faithful one!"

Quote from Scripture:
"You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has
promised." - Hebrews 10:35-36

The diamonds on the cross grow bigger and bigger on the vine, just like our walk with the Lord grows
stronger when we abide in Him as represented by the vine inside the cross.
