New Self

Mysteries of God

Their measure is longer than the earth
and wider than the sea.

Crown of Thorns
February 05, 2015
For what credit is it if, when you sin and are beaten for it, you endure? But if when you do good and suffer for it you endure, this is a gracious thing in the sight of God. For to this you have been called, because Christ also suffered for you, leaving you an example, so that you might follow in his steps. He committed no sin, neither was deceit found in his mouth. When he was reviled, he did not revile in return; when he suffered, he did not threaten, but continued entrusting himself to him who judges justly. 1 Peter 2:20-23
I'm a princess of the King. This is my crown.

indeed, I cannot.
