Very well said Sam. Thank you!
Hi Sam, this is also something we Protestants need to remember more. Our crosses tend to be so neat and clean. Taking on the wrath of God and cleansing my sin was no clean event. May I never forget it.
I think that nowadays it is hard for us to accept that the measure of suffering that we can bear, is the measure of love that we can give, and that is the real truth about the cross.
It is hard because people don’t pray anymore; through prayers one can understand that the Cross on our shoulders is for our salvation and not to crush us; it is amazing the way He knows exactly how much weight we can bear, not an ounce more.
“Do not forget what I said to you, No servant can be greater than his master. They will persecute you just as they have persecuted me”
Well said, Sam Guzman 🙂
Your reward will be great in heaven as well as in this world for all your great words and inspiration 🙂
