This might not resonate with you right now. It may never feel like it’s a message for you. It might be parts of it that speak to you and others that do not. That is okay. Some messages or blogs seem irrelevant in one season, and in others, it’s just what we need.   It might be a word to explore now but use later. However, it works for you, im just grateful you are here.

I want to share three ways we can honor God’s work at the cross in our daily lives:

1. Pray through the cross. 

Through the cross, we have healing.
Through the cross, we have freedom and deliverance.
Through the cross, we are reminded that we are deeply and unconditionally loved.
Through the cross, we receive the power of the blood of Jesus that was willingly shed for us.

So when you pray, remember this: through the cross, we have access to every good thing Christ died to give us. He gave His life to redeem us from sin, to restore what was broken, and to draw us close to His heart.

When you pray, let it come from a place of reverence, gratitude, and quiet confidence in what He has already finished:

This is what it means to pray through the cross—
to come humbly, yet boldly,
to rest in His sacrifice,
and to receive, with open hands, the love He so freely gave.

2. Don’t be afraid to share with others the love story of the cross.

We should be sharing the beautiful love story of the cross—the depth of a love so profound that while we were still sinners, Christ chose to die for us. But He didn’t just die—He suffered. His body was beaten beyond recognition, exposed and broken, hanging on a tree for all to witness the weight of that sacrifice. At any moment, He could have stopped it. With a word, He could have ended the violence. Yet He stayed. He endured. And in that suffering, it was you, it was me, it was every person He created that filled His heart and held Him there.

That… is love—true, raw, unfiltered love.

3). Live Loved

Sometimes, it’s hard to remember just how deeply we are loved—especially in those moments when we struggle to love ourselves because we feel we’ve failed. In those tender places where our hearts feel heavy, we must gently turn back to the truth of God’s love, so beautifully revealed through His Son, who gave His life for us.

When we reflect on the cross, I pray it becomes a quiet, steady reminder to our hearts—that we are meant to live loved. In the moments when we feel unseen, unworthy, or forgotten, this is the truth we can hold onto: we are deeply loved, fully known, completely seen, and truly wanted. You were on His heart. I was on His heart.
It was love—pure, unshakable love—that held Him there. As we begin to rest in that truth, something within us softens. We don’t have to strive or prove our worth. We don’t have to earn what has already been freely given. His love for us does not waver with our mistakes or shortcomings—it remains constant, steady, and sure. Allow His love to gently cover every part of your life—your fears, your past, your hopes, and all that lies ahead. You don’t have to reach for it.
You don’t have to earn it. Just receive it… and live loved.
