Carrying Our Cross

The Strength of the Cross

Cindy Tuttle
Each one of us
has our own cross
to carry

Each cross is
unique and made
to strengthen us

A paradox really
You might think
carrying our cross would make us weaker

But it actually can
help us learn more
about ourselves and God

It can bring new life
Jesus showed us by
carrying his cross

he brought not
only new life
and resurrection for him but all of us

How many times
have we seen people
who have lived through hard times

help others who are
just starting the journey
and proclaim how God helped them

Did God do it
for them? No
not by any means

But He gave them
the strength and courage
to persevere in faith

May we not only
acknowledge our cross
but see how it strengthens us

    This reminds me of the story about the people who enter a room and everyone casts down their crosses that they are carrying. When they see the size of everyone elses cross, they pick up theirs and continue on their way. Cheers, Cindy :)
