The Cross You Bare!!!

by Di Poulin
(Danvers, MA)

Is the cross that you
Have to bare weighing
You down today

Causing you more sorrow
And grief than you can
Take right now

Is this starting to affect
Others around you and
Not in a positive way

Do you feel totally and
Utterly hopeless right
Now

Are you also at that
Place that you feel
What's the use away

I know exactly how
You feel, we have
All been there

We all have our crosses
To bare

Just as our Lord and Savior
Had His cross to bare


So you may be saying to
Yourself right now how does
This help me?


The answer is a very simple
One, our God does not expect
Us to bare our crosses alone

He is there with us every step
Of the way

He will take away your sorrow
And grief

Now as you carry your cross
Others around you will be touched
By this in the right way

As God uses this in your
Life to change you, He will
Use this to change the lives
Of others as well

So carry your cross with
Your head held up high

And by doing so this will
Bring Glory and Honor
To our Lord and Savior

What could be more wonderful than to be able walk with
Our creator!!!

Let us all cherish the crosses that Our Lord has given
Us all too bare!!!

Because, when you think about it and all that He has done for us
It is truly a very small price to pay!!!

starstar 		Your cross to bare
by: Anonymous

Wrong use of words. Burdens are not a cross -- Jesus carried the cross. To help carry the cross you are helping God do justice in the world (giving). I see prayers as taking -- you are asking something from God, asking him to relieve your burdens whether they are emotional or physical. I think it is a distinct difference. If we carry a cross where is it?
There should be a book written on this subject -- it should be interesting to see how we all look at this subject.
Abortion, murder, feeding the poor, etc. are helping to bare the cross for Christ.
The Bible tell us to take our burdens to Jesus and he will help us and give us strength. This is prayer where we are asking (taking) something to help us.
Blessings to all.

I appreciate your poem's ability to reframe my personal cross in a positive light. I have carried it for twelve and a half years. My cross has recently become so large and heavy that I lost sight of the ways God is using it to initiate much needed change in me. Thank you for helping me get back on track. I must stay my course - that is, I must continue carrying my cross until it is God's will for me to set it down and rest.

"Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest." Matthew 11:28
