Jesus has healed on the Sabbath again, to the disapproval of the officials. He has talked about how to give and attend banquets. Now he's talking about his true followers. We must be willing to carry our own crosses in order to be a true disciple.
I read more about carrying one's own crosses. They can be anything that causes us to suffer. The source I found says that we can try to carry them ourselves, which will surely lead to bad feelings and resentment, or we can hand the power over to God. Then we will see how to bear the suffering, while still being able to feel positively. I'm going to be thinking about this a lot during Ron's long recovery.
Prayer: I need You, Lord. The crosses that surround me are too much for me. I need Your help and guidance to do my very best. I want to represent You well, and I wait for Your guidance.
- Amen
