My mental health issues are my crosses that I bare.
You are a piece of work indeedI’m a work in progress
Do you experience daily persecution?Yes, but what did the apostles teach? Clearly there are other passages of scripture that address the issue of suffering in the Christian life, but when you are speaking of carrying your cross, what did Christ teach and what did the apostles proclaim? I defer to that rather than reading what I want into the passage.
Humbleness, a little bit of stoicism, keeping a sense of wonder and breathing in God’s creation each day along with a good sense of humor goes a long way,Have you ever thought about “ your cross “ that you bare ?
How do you carry - your particular cross ?
It does seem the more spiritually fit - the person is, the cooler they are.
Someone told me we need to nail ourselves on the cross ( he’s not Catholic )
How can you pick up your cross and follow Christ AND be nailed to it too - ?
O almighty and eternal God, who savest all, and wouldst have none to perish; look down on those souls that are seduced by the deceits of the devil; that the hearts of all those who err, laying aside all heretical malice, may repent and return to the unity of the truth. A Good Friday Collect
For it is God that worketh in you both to will and to accomplish, according to his good will. (Philippians 2:13)
And as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all shall be made alive. But every one in his own order. (1 Cor. 15:22-23a)
