We all know that a Christian must bear the cross. In theory we are all prepared to accept one. But you will no doubt have noticed that the cross that comes our way is never the right one. The cross we bear (our health, our face, our circumstances, our family, our stupid job, our failure—or our stupid success) always seem to us to be intolerable, mean, humiliating, harmful…Desperately we call for another, a cross made to our own size, a cross which will be bearable, spiritual, elevating, beneficial to ourselves and to others.
Louis Evely
“O Lord, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac, and Israel! Make your people always want to obey you, and see to it that their love for you never changes. Give my son Solomon a good heart toward God, so that he will want to obey you in the smallest detail and will look forward eagerly to finishing the building of your Temple, for which I have made all of these preparations.” Then David said to all the people, “Give praise to the Lord your God!” And they did, bowing low before the Lord and the king.
1 Chronicles 29:18-20
