If I have no Cross to bear today, I shall not advance Heavenwards. To have no Cross, to lie quietly on a bed of down, may seem a very sweet existence but pleasant ease and rest are not the lot of a Christian.
Alas! for those who have no daily Cross! What will be my Cross today? How bear it? Dear Cross, you are helping me on, how ought I to love you!
To carry the Cross, is to join ourselves to the Savior, to company with Him.
[The Preachers Book]
