Grace for your spirit July 25, 2008

Whoever does not carry his own cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:27

One day a man was carrying the cross the Lord had given him to bear. It was pretty heavy and he wanted a lighter load. He saw a man with a saw and asked him to cut off a little bit of the cross. Now the load was lighter, and he felt much better. Soon the road he was on led him to a bridge that was out. He could cross the chasm if he had a plank to walk on. The cross he carried would have worked, except now it was too short. May we not complain about the cross we bear. Jesus has given us that cross to help us over troubles we haven’t seen yet. Let’s trust His vision as we prepare for the road ahead.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
