Before crow of the cock I foresee
Simon Peter said to him, “Master, where are you going?” Jesus answered [him], “Where I am going, you cannot follow me now, though you will follow later.” Peter said to him, “Master, why can’t I follow you now? I will lay down my life for you.” Jesus answered, “Will you lay down your life for me? Amen, amen, I say to you, the cock will not crow before you deny me three times.” John 13:36-38
Know that the LORD is God, he made us, we belong to him, we are his people, the flock he shepherds. Psalm 100:3
John 13:36-38 & Psalm 100
Ultimately, we all think that we would lay down our lives for our loved ones and you would think that Simon Peter would have done the same but when we were caught in the moment of life over death we encounter anxiety that moves us to flight. Simon Peter is the ultimate case of mercy where Jesus hands him the keys to Heaven and allows true forgiveness to be excepted and understood. If God can forgive the one he wanted to lead his church, then you too can be given complete relief from the joy of living for God First. Amen.
Join us in our daily prayer of forgiveness. I am sorry Lord. I believe You died and Rose for me. Prayers for all who have asked us to pray for them or we said we’d pray for. Prayers for JSRW. IN Jesus Name. Amen.
I am a poet obedient to Christ,

Before crow of the cock I foresee
Going where Master said Peter Simon
Answering Jesus now follow cannot
Later though follow Me over the horizon
You down lay my life Peter said or rot
Me life down lay you Peter
Double amen Jesus said to see
Times three Me denied weaker
Before crow of the cock I foresee

About Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
My name is Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins. I first recognize Christ as my Savior in all things. I am married to my best friend and Soul-Mate in Christ, Antonia Cruz-Wiggins. I am a University of Florida graduate of Public Relations, a US Navy Veteran and a Montessori Elementary School Teacher. I love life and God's help of living it! I follow the Light of Christ in everything I do!
I love writing poetry about the Lord and I create a new poem from each Scripture I discern in my daily mediations. You can almost follow the poem by looking at the readings for each day. I started sharing this small yet personal scripture study four years ago when one day I was reading the bible and the Holy Spirit moved me to share the verse with a group of about 40 Christian Men in my Emmaus Ministry who get together weekly to celebrate the Lord and talk about His Truth. Since then the number of people I share my study with has grown to over 650.
I enjoy an open loving dialog about anything I write and I have strived to write what I know the Lord wants me to share steering clear of offending anyone’s spiritual beliefs because I share my work with people I meet in public when I strike up a conversation about the Gospel of Jesus Christ. It took almost 2 years to begin writing what the Holy Spirit leads me to say. I believe that all Christians must unite as One Body of Christ’s Love to accomplish the joy of living with love, honor and respect.
I reach out to Humanity to share His Salvation be it Baptist, Catholic, Protestant, Episcopal or any other religion or belief. I seek to mirror His Compassion, His Simpleness, His Charity and His Love. While I am Catholic, I believe we must all unite in the Lord to become One Body in Christ to bring our children back to The Church. I am humbled to share my study with you. Please feel free to comment any time. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is my Joy because I am a Disciple of His Truth. I am honored to share my Bible study with anyone you may recommend. As always, I remain,
Yours in Christ,
Thomas Joe Cruz-Wiggins
