I have been wearing this necklace with a cross pendant for roughly 2 years. I always take if off before showering, so as to maintain its quality. More or less, I pretty much take good care of it.
Enough of the necklace's history. For these past few weeks, I have been faced with a lot of changes from school to surroundings. I thought I would be able to accept all those things instantly and joyfully; however, I did not. In addition, things quickly piled up in my schedule, and it was beyond what I could handle; at least in my thought. If I were to count the number of complaints I have had, perhaps counting babies' hair would be easier to do.
The moment my necklace dropped from my neck onto the table, I was struck by God's message behind this happening. I was strongly reminded of the very basic thing about how Christians shall live. It is how Jesus already died on the cross, carrying not only our sins, but also our burdens. Do not ever try to do things with your own strength because I guarantee you 100% that you'll be worn out and exhausted. Jesus provides you the strength to do His will, so rely on it instead of yourself.
God spoke to me, "Vanny, don't you remember how I have took away all of your burdens at the cross? Let me cast away all troubles from your mind, just let go off your cross and let me carry it for you."
