Get Off Your Cross

We Christians have an habit of asociating all our troubles and trials in life to our very own cross that we have to carry and whose burden we have to bear. Be it an abusive spouse, or a spouse with a drinking problem, or children who have gone astray, or whatever problems and difficulties that we have to face in life, all of these are associated to the cross that we have to carry around. You have a number of people reminding you about this.

But then are going to live with these crosses forever, carrying them around with wherever we go in life???? Are we going to suffer on our crosses for eternity??? Aren't we not going to something??? Shouldn't we be finding a solutions for all our problems or ways to face the trials and tribulations that life throws at us.

The idea should not be about carrying our crosses, it should be that we should challenge the cross that we bear. Find a solution that could put an end, or at least strength to face it. We all have crosses to carry in life, but cannot go around carrying them forever. We shouldn't be hanging from our Christ, but get of it.
