Kelly: the cross on the road

Friday, March 13, 2015
Meditation:
    Dear friends, do not be surprised at the painful trial you are suffering, as though something strange were happening to you. But rejoice that you participate in the sufferings of Christ, so that you may be overjoyed when his glory is revealed.
    —1 Peter 4:12-13 (NIV)
Quotation:
    God, out of the pattern of His own heart, has planted the Cross along the road of holy obedience.
