It means the willing acceptance, at the hand of Providence, of every means of healing, that is offered, bitter though it may be. Do great catastrophes fall on you? Be obedient to God\u2019s will, as Noah was. Is sacrifice demanded of you? Give yourself into God\u2019s hands with the same faith as Abram had when he went to sacrifice his son. Is your property ruined? Do your children die suddenly? Suffer it all with patience, cleaving to God in your heart, as Job did. Do your friends forsake you, and you find yourself surrounded by enemies? Bear it all without grumbling, and with faith that God\u2019s help is at hand, as the apostles did.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"\" data-block=\"true\" data-editor=\"bn2er\" data-offset-key=\"aecdv-0-0\">\n<div class=\"_1mf _1mj\" data-offset-key=\"aecdv-0-0\"><span data-offset-key=\"aecdv-0-0\">&#8211; Quote from His Writings<\/span><\/div>\n<div data-offset-key=\"aecdv-0-0\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-11939\" src=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC-300x200.jpg 300w, http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC-768x512.jpg 768w, http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC-1024x683.jpg 1024w, http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC-480x320.jpg 480w, http:\/\/orthodoxinsight.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/11\/af-2019_11_08-19_20_40-UTC.jpg 1300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What does it mean to take up your cross?
