I Carry a Cross

A simple reminder to me

Of the fact that I am a Christian

No matter where I may be.

This little cross is not magic

Nor is it a good luck charm.

It isn't meant to protect me

From every physical harm.

It's just an identification

For all the word to see.

That there is an understanding

Between my Saviour and me.

It tells me how much I need Him

And how it's not "I" now but "He".

The cross is there to remind me

Of the price He paid for me...

It reminds me, too, to be thankful

For my blessings day by day.

To strive to serve him better

In all that I do and say.

It's also a daily reminder

Of the the peace and comfort I share

With all who know my Master

And give themselves to His care.

So I carry a cross with me always

For all around to see

That Jesus Christ is Lord of my life

And that's the way I want it to be.

This poem isn't one I wrote. I found it on the web and I wanted to share it with whoever reads my blog...
