Lisa, the Bible references about your Cross, mine, & for every CHRISTian, comes in Luke 9:23 and Matthew 16: 24-26. People make all kinds of synonyms for our CROSS, but it is forgiveness, not for us to be crucified all over again. Forgiving a true wrong will be the hardest thing we ever do. Easier to give one's house away,even a child.But 2give up a sense of INJUSTICE &right to judge & punish & mock non_Christians is almost impossible to DENY inside us.THANK U JESUS,Humble Creator-in-the-Flesh!

Lisa, the answer is there for every Christ-worshipper, or Jesus-follower.They'll hate my answer.Matthew Ch6.vv.9-13, the Pater Noster, the only part of this oldest Prayer thats emphasized are 2vv (14,15): forgiveness.When Jesus said, If you are my disciple deny yourself, take your cross, & follow (Luke (;23, Mt 16:24. Our CROSS is forgive ALL, allTHEtime.Its hard to forgive the apartheid government & whites who still dominate everything financial.Whites who live & visit S.Africa love the animals more than those born there generation after generation. As happened in the USA.Is it easy for me to forgive these .... No.But I do it daily.MNCs &businesses steal in the name of GodOfCapitalism. I pray2forgive them daily too

At the end of it there are some song recs if you wanna talk, im here for you, just send me a message, and I'll do what i can to hell\p. Just know you arent alone in this fight, Not for one second. ~Best wishes, Elissa

Thanx Dear.I pray often& lead Workshops.Helping others empowerS&Transformed me from victim & Strangers note the difference. "Something around u that's powerful." I ask God's Holy Spirit to unfold the Bible..St. Paul, the murderer of Christians in old wineskin, is my role model.WHY. Pride would be the same disease we c (United Nations, US & other govt, church denominations. I cultivate FEAR of "grieving the HolySpirit." Peter didn't decide to deny Jesus.His gift of leadership& self-confidenc made Peter do it 3X. PS mail soon.Dr.Deo
