No Hope

What if God isn't so difficult to understand?
What if God is communicating with us every single moment of the day and night? What if we lost sight of this communication? What if God’s communication were replaced by our own useless perception?
What if we stopped viewing the cross only as our ticket into heaven and began to see it for what it really is?
What if we began to see God in everything we see?
What if we truly understood what the cross really represents?

Is it just our “Get out of hell free card?’ Or is it more?
Does it represent God from a different viewpoint?
Is it God reaching toward us?
Is it God allowing us to see that we are helpless, alone, and unworthy without Him?

What is we understood to late that it is His cross and not ours?
What if God removed His cross?
What if we woke up one morning and knew not only that we had no possible way to find forgiveness on your own but we suddenly realized with our first days breath that the only opportunity we had for forgiveness was gone?

What would we do?
Would we hopelessly search for a “new” way?
Would we cry out to God in anger, raise your fist to the sky and shout…”You put my cross back, you but it back right now!!!”
Would we give up?
Would we simply give up?
What if God took our hope away?
Would we then see the value in His cross when it no longer existed?
Would we understand grace then?
Would we still call it cheap?
