Take up our crosses

“And he said unto all, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. For whosoever would save his life shall lose it; but whosoever shall lose his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”
‭‭S. Luke‬ ‭9‬:‭23‬-‭24‬ ‭RV1895‬‬ https://bible.com/bible/1922/luk.9.23-24.RV1895

What a verse for today. It really puts being a Christian in perspective. For the is an easy path and a hard path. The easy path has earthly and heavenly goals. The hard path, is the path that Christ took.

Certainly, if we truly want to dedicate ourselves to Christ, it’s a lot of hard work. It’s not a one time commitment, but a daily choice to humble ourselves and follow Him.

The good part is, if we keep trying, we can do it. Christ is always with us.
