Thankful for the Cross
As thankful as I am for the Cross that Christ bore, the inspiration for this post came from thinking of the cross I am called to bear. I don’t always embrace it as strongly as I should but it’s through faithfully carrying the cross and sharing in His sufferings, that we can identify with Him and grow to be more like Him. If life were all ease, we wouldn’t see our need for Him but, because we have those things that drive us to our knees, we can say, “Thank you, Father, for counting me worthy to bear this for you.” Don’t forget that His yoke is easy and His burden is light. We weren’t made to carry the cross by ourselves. If we keep our eyes on Him, the weight won’t seem so heavy and burdensome and we will truly be able to rejoice regardless of the cross we bear.
