Embrace the Cross

My beloveds, I don’t know God’s specific plans for you. But I do know one thing. Suffering for His name’s sake will be the theme. Embrace this suffering.

Keep in mind, salvation and suffering are a package deal. They are a gift. The two go together. You can’t have one without the other. So, do not be surprised at the trials what you must endure for His name’s sake.

And what does suffering look like? Forsaking your will, your desires, your plans for His. Turning from your old ways to a much better way. Jesus said, take up your cross and follow Me. Salvation is His invitation to suffer with Him.

Please answer His call and do not be afraid. Embrace the cross. It’s the road to everlasting joy and eternal life. I'll meet you there!

Phil 1:29-
For to you it has been granted for Christ’s sake, not only to believe in Him, but also to suffer for His sake.
