Add to Fun Pictures

I'm adding this here, but it relates to the post of Fun pictures.

Then [Jesus] said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”  (Luke 9:23)

It's encouraged that I am not the only one burdened down to the ground at times when I carried my cross to follow Jesus. But the Lord’s message to us is clear: “Take up your cross.” Regardless of where we have been, what we have done, or what we haven’t done, take ourself the way we are and follow Him. Believe in Him, trust in Him or worship Him as we carry our cross when we follow Him.

There are many crosses in life. But what kind of cross do you carry each day? Parenting can be a cross, so can temptation, wealth, popularity or ourself...

And so it is our right and responsibility to carry our crosses, never say the cross is too heavy to bear. God knows the way wherever we are because He's already been.

May we carry our crosses with strength and purpose; and while we do, may we count the blessings of God’s strength, peace and love.
