I read the following in Mornings with Jesus by JuliaAttaway:

• Jesus died on the cross (so my life would be easier).
   
• Jesus died on the cross (to end suffering).
   
• Jesus died on the cross (so I can be happy).
   
• Jesus died on the cross, and I love and serve Him (so nothing really bad is ever going to happen to me).
   
• Jesus died on the cross, and I want to follow His ways (so I will always know what He wants me to do next).
   
• Jesus died on the cross, and I will take up my cross to follow Him (and then the problem will pass and everything will be good again

Now as I look at the cross, i will try and remember all it represents and what Jesus did for me…..even when I feel the world is tumbling down around me.
