Take Up Your Cross and Follow Jesus

I found this comic earlier today and I had to post it here. I'm not going to write this super long post, because I want you guys to really think about this. Often times when life gets hard we ask God to "lighten our load" and cut the cross down to make it easier to bear. Christ wants us to choose every day to follow him and do it in such a way that we are obedient to everything he asks of us. Don't ask God to cut down your cross...you never know what he is using it to prepare you for. :)
