Guest poet, Debra Ann Belka, writes about what it means to take up the cross.
It’s A Daily Thing
It’s a daily thing, this taking up my cross it’s about eternal gain not worldly loss. It’s an hourly thing, this denying the self it’s all about Jesus not about myself. It’s a moment thing, this faithful following it’s about pressing on not fearful wallowing. It’s a minute at a time, this dying to myself thing but, Oh what joy . . . each day that it brings!

Luke 9:23
King James Version
“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.”
