See life as a journey. You are the traveler. You have hopefully discovered that God is there and you are willing to take up your own cross to follow Jesus.
To your surprise you have discovered that your own cross is the heavy weight of your own sins, your negative attitude, your part prejudices, hatreds, your old bad habits, old opinions which head you in the wrong direction etc.
We discover that God wants us to be more like Him. We are to follow Jesus with a true dedication.
We note that Jesus was at times badly treated, Jesus was the victim of the guilty and dishonest, the people wanted a scapegoat so they formed their pack and like wolves they go their guilt a attacked. We must always be aware of the weak-minded and their attacks of fear.
If we empty our mind of the past God will fill our mind with new knowledge and a new belief-system. We learn that what we once thought was good and nice was weakness and now is seen for its evil [unfinished].
All the best from James Martin Sandbrook.
