Embrace the Cross

Embrace the Cross

Dr. Edward Sri

Offer it up! Carry your cross! These aren’t bad things to do, but our response to suffering can be even greater. There is so much that can come from our suffering, from bearing our crosses. Dr. Sri describes what fruit can come from not just bearing our crosses, but embracing them.

In your suffering, do not miss the opportunity to encounter God and experience his deep healing.

How Is God Glorified in My Suffering?

When we suffer, when something we care about is taken away or destroyed, it is not the destruction in and of itself that glorifies God. God can be glorified by what is changed in us. Perhaps, the suffering you are experiencing is causing some sort of change within you. Maybe it is making you less prideful or it is requiring you to relinquish control. God is glorified when we become more holy.

“The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord!” Job 1:21
