Your Personal Crosses Sept.1

Your Personal Crosses

“Then Jesus, looking at him, loved him, and said to him, One thing you lack: Go your way, sell whatever you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, take up the cross, and follow Me.” [Mk.10:21, NKJV].

Taking up your personal cross may not mean you sell all like the rich young man. And you may never actually be nailed to a cross, but you may have to endure other subtle crosses like:
1.   A word said about you not true.
2.   A life-long physical malfunction.
3.   A mate who does not agree with you spiritually.
4.   Some other worker getting credit and praise for your ideas.
5.   Some dream or ambition you could never fulfill.


We do not always understand but these and others are when we give thanks for God’s magnificent Grace that sees us through.
