Two thousand years ago, Jesus said, “Take up your cross and follow me.” This means that each of us has a cross to carry as we walk the wilderness path of faith. This means that God trains us as we walk the path of faith. God trains us so that we can follow Him without wavering in any trials and hardships. Through this training, we gradually change into children of God who resemble God.
When we overcome all these trials, we can receive great praise, glory, and honor from God. There is one thing we must keep in mind. We do not walk the path of faith alone. God the Father and God the Mother are always with us. Even if it is difficult or tiring at times, let us rely on God the Father and God the Mother and complete the path of faith to the end. We are promised eternal heaven.

1 Peter 1:7 These have come so that your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire—may be proven genuine and may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed.
