THEN JESUS SAID TO HIS DISCIPLES, "IF ANYONE WOULD
COME AFTER ME, HE MUST DENY HIMSELF AND TAKE
UP HIS CROSS AND FOLLOW ME."
( MATTHEW 16:24 *NIV )
It then says in devotion that we have crosses to bear in our lives and perhaps our crosses seem to be heavy one, however when you look around, you will find much bigger ones than yourself. So when your cross "seems" to be heavy, God is there to help carry it for you. God has said "NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU; NEVER WILL I FORSAKE YOU." ( HEBREWS 13:5 ). So we need to put our faith in God "DO NOT LET YOUR HEARTS BE TROUBLED. TRUST IN GOD; TRUST ALSO IN ME. ( JOHN 14:1 ) . A poem is than attached, here it is.
May the wings of faith uphold you
When your cross is hard to bear,
As temptations surround you,
And no one seems to care.
May the wings of faith surround you
And shield you from the pain
When sorrows overcome you
And teardrops fall like rain.
May you know that God is with you
In times of deep despair.
May the spirit, who's within you,
Confirm that He is there!
May the valley of the shadow
Provide angels unaware...
May the wings of faith uphold you
When your cross is hard to bear.
