When Jesus re-entered heaven God asked Him, “Son, have You redeemed the world I sent You forth to save?” I have, said the Son, were You successful in redeeming the world? Some were saved, some asked the Father; I know twelve or so were saved, what no more said the Father? Have You any evidence that Your mission was a real struggle to redeem the world? These He said, Jesus lifted His hands; I gained the holes in my hands and my feet, I have no other evidence but these. The Father gazed upon His hands and feet and wept, the Father tears were molten gold; and as they fell they collected into a circlet of bright light, then He took the crown fashioned from His tears and set it on our Saviors head. Our tears and suffering are the stuff our crown will be made of, once we overcome this world.
Father, Your Son suffered immensely for our sins, please help us through the suffering we must endure. Give us Christ like courage and faith, so we too will overcome this world. Father, remove the obstacles that hinder us from Your plan for our lives; and fill us with the Fruit of the Spirit, so we will become the people You created. Lord, we thank You, for receiving us into Your royal family; even though we are still sinners, and giving us the same rights as Your Son. Father, let not the power and wealth of this world, make us reluctant to practice self-denial; but give us a strong desire for the things of the Spirit, and all that is of You. Father, fill us with Your wisdom and the knowledge to implement You into our daily lives. Lord, prepare us for Your return before the great scroll of final things are open; and let our names be written in Your Book so we may sit at Your feet, in Jesus name Amen
