When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. (Mark 8:34 NKJV) There are many crosses to carry. I may be under qualified for the task The Lord has given me. I may be over qualified for the task The Lord has given me. I may have to be kind and loving to someone who has wronged me. I may have to put on my happy face, when my heart is breaking. But never is Jesus so near me as when I lift my cross, and lay it submissively on my shoulder, He draws close, to ripen my wisdom, to deepen my peace, to increase my courage, to augment my power to be of use to others. I grow under the load. #Jesus #devotional
