Taking up a cross sounds like a daunting task. We all have a spiritual cross to bear—not to punish us, but to set us free! As Christians, we have to surrender our own will for our lives in favor of God’s will. We must lay our sins at the cross, but we can’t get there on our own. The power of the Holy Spirit takes the wills and ways that we offer, and He gives us new life! If we show up in faith, the Spirit meets us there.
