Being late can give you a greater remorse than you'd expect. After you realize what could have been, when it's too late . . .

Much love!
It might be worse than you imagine, and that could be my downfall if I fail.

The Israelites of biblical times were burdened down with the law which was of works, plus laws what the Pharisees added. Jesus takes our sin on himself thus fulfilling the law. We will still face trials but he's right there with us shouldering the yoke making it light. We have his peace during all these trials.
Great post!

Carrying our cross as believers is an essential part of our Christian journey, and I think it's important to reflect on why some people may struggle with this concept. In my view, carrying our cross requires us to embrace sacrifice, selflessness, and humility, all of which can be challenging in a world that often prioritizes individualism and personal success.

Many people do not believe in the divine power of the cross:rolleyes: They don't want to understand that we must carry our cross the same way Jesus carried his cross.

Amen! It is how we grow in christ.

As long as we do not think this is what makes us IN Christ.. then we are in danger

Jesus ended up needing someone else to carry it for him. I think this is a great picture.. Sometimes we need to help others carry their cross..
