On my nine hour drive today I was thinking of the cross we are called to carry. If we did compare with others, I think we might see greener fields at first. But on closer inspection the strength required to carry another's cross might be too much to bare.
Instead of asking 'why do I have to carry this?', the question should be 'How is this going to help me grow into the disciple Christ needs me to be?'
It's okay I think if you have to ask that question many times before you know the answer. Jesus Christ will answer.
And if you are seeking an answer in order to grow closer to Christ then you will definitely gain the strength you need to hold that cross up.
He will make it okay and temper the storm upon you.
