E PLURIBUS UNUM

Each one of us has our own cross to bear, and that means every problem, every heart ache, every trial of every kind, including being persecuted for Christ's sake. Whether it's our fault or not, it's something we have to go through. It's all part of the cross that we as Christians have to take up as we follow Jesus. I think it's wrong to complain about the cross that we must bear, for two reasons; [1] Matthew 16:24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone wants to come with Me, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow Me". Of course this is not a literal cross, but a symbol of what we must go through as we follow Christ.
To deny ones self, he must put Christ and others, even before himself. See, it's not about me, it's about Christ, and my obedience to Him. If I love Jesus, I will obey His commandments. [2] James 1:2-4 Says;
Consider it a great joy, my brothers, whenever you experience various trials,
knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance.
But endurance must do its complete work, so that you may be mature and complete, lacking nothing.
Can you picture a good Christian following along behind Jesus, complaining to Him all the while, that his cross is too heavy? He will never put more on your back than you can carry.
