Keeping our hearts focused on the cross is a daily act of devotion. The cross reminds us of Christ’s ultimate sacrifice and the unending grace He offers. When life’s distractions and struggles threaten to pull us away, returning our gaze to the cross re-centres our faith, filling us with gratitude and purpose.
Hebrews 12:2 urges us, “We do this by keeping our eyes on Jesus, the champion who initiates and perfects our faith. Because of the joy awaiting him, he endured the cross, disregarding its shame. Now he is seated in the place of honour beside God’s throne” (NLT). This verse encourages us to let Jesus’ sacrifice inspire perseverance and focus, no matter the challenges we face.
By reflecting on the cross, we keep our hearts aligned with God’s love and mission. Let the cross be the anchor that holds you steady and the compass that guides your life.
