Matthew 10:38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.
Ouch!
Isn’t it horrible when someone says something that cuts you down to size! God’s Word is exactly like that when you take it to heart!
Don’t ever think that God’s Word has been written down for someone else to read or to study. It has been written down for YOU!
We are not talking about picking up a huge wooden structure and carrying it round on your shoulders like a few people like to do over Easter – we are talking about the things in life that we find hard to accept as being necessary.
Don’t give up, give in to God!
