It is Finished!
Jesus carried it all. His cross signified not only the physical weight He was called to bear but also the burden of my own sin, shortcomings, fears and failures. Yet, I still insist on carrying my own cross many times.
A part of me wants to hold onto the old as a mark of my identity. Another fears the outcome when choosing to let go. Even more, I can doubt His love and power and start to really question, Does God love me? These obstacles seem insurmountable. I become self consumed and fearful. There seems to be no hope. The collateral damage is devastating.
Am I still carrying my own cross? There is a mark on my soul that cries out for peace, freedom and salvation. Yet, time and time again I go back to the place where the cross was laid down once and for all, only to try and lift it myself again. The highest price was paid. The judgment was already rendered. We are set free when we choose to come running into the arms of the One who deeply wants to answer our question Does God Love Me? He is ready to shower you with His unending grace.
