Each of us has a cross to bear. It's not a punishment.
It is a part of God's design.
It is not simply a burden to weigh us down, it is an instrument of purpose.
Our cross is a reflection of our identification with Christ.
Bearing our cross allows us to be a part of what God is doing.
The original cross was an instrument of death, a symbol of shame.
Christ turned it into an instrument of new life, a symbol of greater love.
As you enter these final days of the Lenten season may you once again embrace
your cross. May you embrace it in obedience and love.
And may you follow Jesus.
