Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Ps.1, Luke 9:22-25

Take up your cross.

What is my cross? We all have many crosses in our lives, but most of them are temporary. Usually, however, there is one cross which doesn’t seem to change. It may be a particular temptation or perhaps a character trait. It may be constant ill health or a physical or mental disability. Whatever it is, can I recognise it, accept it and ask once again for God’s help in carrying it for Jesus’ sake?
