Monday Musings – I Kissed His Feet

God calls all of us to walk the Via Dolorosa
with Him, to spend time at the foot of His cross, to be there as He is
nailed to it, to be there throughout the entire three hours of His
agonizing death, to be there as He is taken down from the cross, to be
there as He is placed in His mother’s arms and to be there at the tomb.
I have tried from time to time to obey
Him. But I have found it hard to do. Painful would be more accurate. I
don’t want to be reminded of the price He paid for my sins. I don’t want
to acknowledge how ungrateful I have been for such an undeserved
sacrificial gift. I am afraid of what other things He might ask of this
obstinate sinner and of the additional disappointment, pain and anguish
my refusing to change may cause such a loving and merciful Lord.
Yet, if I am ever to succeed in
abandoning my will for His, of allowing Him to make of me the new
creation He intended, and of spending eternity in His glorious and
magnificent Presence, I must obey. I must daily walk that road and
spend time at the foot of His cross.
