A man I knew had cheated on his wife and was
going through a divorce. He was so hard on himself because he knew it was his
fault that the marriage is breaking down. He took full responsibility for his
actions and apologized numerous times to his wife but the wife was very
disappointed and could not trust him any longer. To his wife, the marriage was
over. The man wanted a second chance at his marriage. I told him, if you are
truly sorry, there is someone who can absorb your cross, so take your cross and
follow Him. He invited God in the situation and allowed Him to have the final
say. The wife went on with the divorce and it was granted. They all went on to
live normal separate lives. After three years of living separately, the wife realized
she had made a mistake and they reconciled and remarried. The man bore his
cross that is the divorce and loneliness he went through for three years.
Christ made it bearable so he was able to withstand it. Finally there was glory
at the end when Christ absorbed his cross. We may be going through certain
misfortunes at some point in our lives; Christ will always help us through it
so that His glory will be manifested in the end.
Luke 14:27 says “And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me,
cannot be my disciple”.
