And he said to them all, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow me. Luuk 9: 23,24.

Jesus Christ taught us that we should take up the cross daily, so that we would follow Him. This is a fundamental aspect of our Christian life: the Cross and the following of Jesus Christ. Now we will examine what the cross and the following of Jesus Christ means in practical life.

I really like this part PetriFB -

quote:
Joy in the Lord is your strength

The power of the Holy Spirit will bring real joy and peace to our lives. The life, which is ruled by the Holy Spirit has joy and peace. God is only strong in the weak ones, only the weak who agree to die to their flesh and to the desire of sin can feel joy in the Lord. The death of your flesh is not a dark matter but it will give your life real joy!!!.

We are tempted sometimes to feel sorry for ourselves because his purging power is so tough, but God is trying to teach us that true obedience is the only way to joy and peace. [Cross]
