So he told me to go and give the people this message: “No matter how much you listen, you will not understand. No matter how much you look, you will not know what is happening.”
Isiah 6:9 GNBDC
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to come with me, he must forget self, carry his cross, and follow me.
Matthew 16:24 GNBDC
The cross to us believers is a sign of Hope and Victory, yet to many it is a sign of burden n defeat. But God can fulfill his purpose through the worse of human acts, just as He did in the death and resurrection of Jesus, God fulfilled his promise for salvation. Yes we are all called to an Abundant life, But we need faith to look at God's promise for this life. Simply put we need to trust God that he will fullfil his promise. Trust is something that is built by action and our call to action is to deny ourselves and to take up our cross, not once or twice, but every single day. For in the Cross is Hope and Victory and through the Cross God will fullfil his promise for you.
I pray that God our Father gives you the understanding to the acceptance of your cross, and like Jesus may you graciously accept it knowing fully that's God's promise is being fulfilled. And may His Holy Spirit strengthen you along the way. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
