Carrying the cross

Today is Good Friday- such an ironic name for the day. Last Sunday I was having a bad day and a lady at our church touched my shoulders and said, "You look like you have a lot on your shoulders, what cross are you carrying?" She reminded me as we head into Holy week, that I need to give my cross over to Jesus, because he chose to carry it for me. Because I am so emotional, I broke down, and she prayed with her hands on my shoulder. As she was praying my shoulders were tingling and it felt like the stress, disappointment, and fear was lifted. I was reminded that I need to give my worries, cares, fears to God. I was reminded that the cross is enough...I don't need anything else. I don't need to carry the crosses in my life, because Jesus already did, He wants to and asks me to let Him do it for me. That's awesome!

So, what crosses are you carrying? Don't try to do it on your own. God wants to carry it for you, and today is the day to remember that he already has!
