I have been taught that many or all of us have been given a “cross” to carry in this life. And if we accept it, it is better for us and is a way to perfect our love for Jesus and other people. And a way to bring us to heaven.
It has taken me several years to accept the personal cross that Jesus has laid upon my shoulder. It took me even longer to tell him “Thank You” for this cross. It is still very painful at times, but I recognize it as a very special gift from Jesus. Yesterday I asked in prayer how long this suffering would last, and immediatly I felt the answer was “For the rest of my life on earth”, and that the pain would only intensify at times. This personal revelation did not disturb me, but actually comforted me - knowing that I may suffer with Jesus till my last breath, and that He would be with me.
One of my favorite quotes was said of Mother Teresa, “Suffering is the kiss of Christ”.
So, my question is to you, How well are you accepting and carrying the cross that Jesus has laid upon your shoulder?"
I don’t ask for you to reveal what it is because that is personal. Just curious about your journey.
Peace.
