Take UP Your CROSS...

-

 



I have been through some major things in my life.  It has not been easy at all.  There have many times when I stopped caring and gave in and gave up.  That didn’t make my suffering stop. If anything, it made matters worse.  More than likely prolonging my season of suffering. 


A lot of times we don’t understand our suffering.  We take it out on God and everyone around us and don’t understand why we are going through it and God doesn’t seem to be around…

God does not turn His back from us.  We may turn our back on Him time after time.  And then we wonder why we are going through what we have?  He turns us over to our own devices and then we wonder why we are in the same rut over and over again.

Jesus greatly suffered at His crucifixion.  He could have easily called on legions of heaven’s angels.  Where would we be right now if Jesus took an easy way out? Not where we are, that is for sure!

God has not forgotten nor forsaken your suffering.  He sees it. He is omnipresent meaning He is everywhere all the time…. Good times and bad times.  Where in the good book does it say life is going to be easy? 

You can’t get around suffering.  There is no easy way out of anything. We suffer from the consequences of the sins of Adam and Eve.  Yes, it goes back through many generations of sinfulness. 

Jesus can and will walk with you through your suffering if you will allow Him too.  He will take your hand because He has been right where you are.  We all have our crosses to bear. 

I have been through so much crap it’s not even funny.  What about you?  Are you going to submit the Holy Spirit or not?  You cannot go it alone...He will make your cross more bearable.  You know that Jesus lasted as long as He possibly could on that cross. Look upon that cross right now. Do you see Him crucified?  He bled and suffered and then died for you and me making a way for us to come to the Holy Father. 

The theme of this writing if you haven’t noticed yet, is that God will help you make it “through.” Whatever you are facing right now.  One day you will be on the other side of everything you have suffered just like Job in the Bible.  If not on this earth, then in heaven. 


The next time you are moaning and complaining... consider what Jesus did for you and how He suffered, and the anguish He went through just to redeem and deliver you!  Cry out to Him.  Reach out and take his strong hand.  You can lean all the heavy burdens upon him.  He loves you sooo muchhh!!!  He will carry you and take off your yoke of sin as you learn to lean every weight on you upon Jesus Christ!!!

I always see a flower before it blooms.                               Richard T Hicks 2020 I was not always like that.  Why and exactly how in the world did my perspective change over the years? I used to be completely opposite.  I was a Norman Negative and Pessimistic Peter. You name it, I was it. I seen the glass half empty never half full. I was a constant worrier about the future and lived in the past. It was as if everyday was a drudgery.   All I could see before me as all my mistakes I had made in my life. All I seen in the mirror was one big mistake. It is as if I lived mistake after mistake. I felt like a scratched up record that could not be fixed.   Before I fell asleep at night not only did my mind replay the negative from that day but it was like it domino'ed a past of bad negative choices I had made in life surfaced....  I wanted to die but was afraid to...  It would keep me up for hours tormenting my mind..... I don't really think I am the only

Dear Jesus I just want to take the time to say I appreciated all you have done for me through your sacrificial death on that dark and cruel cross.   You didn’t have to do it… but you did.   It makes me sad that you had to die to make this all possible…but you did it without hesitation.  All my love and life I owe to You… Thank you ABBA for your grace and mercy poured out upon all people on this earth.   Draw them and give them a revelation of your divine glory.  For you gave your only son.   I am so grateful to you for redeeming me so I wouldn’t have to die.   For Jesus has already been on that cross and already experienced my destruction in the grave.  He already died once for all creation.   For in Adam we have died already, but through Christ we have been made alive through that glorious resurrection by the power of your Holy Spirit.   Yes God has already done it all through the power of His Spirit.    For He has already seated us in heavenly places in Jesus.   He has given us a hop

Not in a Hurry

A flower does not get in a hurry.  It takes its time to grow and bloom in beautiful and intrinsic ways. Just like us as believers we do not instantly bloom.  We  may start as a seed.  We want to be in such a hurry but it takes grace to be patient….and trust too.  It takes time and space to grow. Lots of tender loving care.   We shouldn’t worry about blooming for our time will come without one worry how we will turn out … Dear Jesus,  help me I pray to not be in a hurry or to compare my heart to to anyone else for in due time we will flourish and bloom like the red rose 🌹 on a sunny spring day…Amen.
