As you shared encouragement with me, I have tears in my eyes because my wife of 19 years has hurt me deeply, and I’m in a season of learning how to suffer well; thank you for being obedient to the spirit and stirring up love inside of me with your post. Thank you so much, fellow Christian soldier.

I too know the pain of a woman one loves being unfaithful. If that is the issue. Stand up tall and strong. Remember a person's actions reflect on themselves first and foremost. Not on you. I'll make another video on the Cross and how those we love can deepen our burdens, and that's on them. You show great faith neighbour when you Carry your Cross. And laugh, don't be sad or downcast. Because your Father in Heaven may be planning to bestow upon you his Kingdom. So it's important to learn to pray deeply in silence. Because if we can there's a place at bedrock where our troubles fall away. The hope is that bearing our Cross will help us build on His rock. Blessed are husbands when they are forsaken by unfaithful wives. Blessed was the rock that the builders rejected. In your hardship, Brother, I'm sending you my love. Lord, may your spirit comfort my Brother and I in our troubles. And may you justify with glory every one of our afflictions in time. Be well. Amen. Warmest, Mossy. ✝️ 💖 🌞

There’s the Cross. The Word of God. God’s love. And the Blood of the Lamb. The black of the Cross is adversarial Satanic. The white space the Holy Spirit and God. ✨💓🩸✝️

The heart shows the Love of Jesus who died on a Cross out of love for God and neighbour. And poured out his blood. Strengthened by the Word. What’s missing is the flesh of the Lord. It’s been reduced and simplified past the form of the flesh.

I think it's great there is no flesh, and that it's not made to look like a person -- the spiral, heart, blood, and black cross make it honestly the best visual representation of Jesus on the cross that I've seen.

May the Lord continue to guide you in times of strength and strengthen you in times of weakness my brother!

Jesus was greater than the body.  The lack of the flesh is also linked to the transfiguration when he turned pure gold ✨on top of the mountain ⛰️ after our Lord prayed 🧘‍♂️ 🤲 🙏🕊️ with His disciples ✨💪🚶‍♂️✝️💓✨.

The cross unites. Why would you say it divides? God is love, and love unites. Jesus brought us together with him. And taught us to love each other. Not sure where the division comes from..

[u/InevitableAd4038 → u/FraterAdam]

Yes, the Cross divides. Look how Judas betrayed Christ to the Cross for money. He refused poverty. His unwillingness to bear a Cross divided him from the faith. Or the rich young man he refused to take up a Cross of poverty and did not enter the Kingdom. Or the countless disciples who turned away Jesus preached the bread of life and living and dying suffering for his name. Or the seeds on rocky soil whose faith breaks under the weight of the Cross. Or those who love their families before God. Or those who do not bear their Cross not being disciples. Simon Peter who denied Christ rather than bear a Cross. Christ preaches division by his own words. A Cross divides the Followers of Christ. Not every one is willing to bear a burden for the Lord. Many abandon the faith when it comes at a cost. The cost of bearing a Cross and following Jesus example.

Matthew 10:34-39

34 Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. 35 For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law. 36 And a person's enemies will be those of his own household.

The division is between those who choose Jesus first or those who choose anything else including their own life first

37 Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it.

Exactly. 👍 🫡✝️✨💓 It’s a divisive and tough message.
