There are people who enjoy suffering. They are the ones who can talk of nothing else. Every day is marked by some hardship, some disappointment or some injustice. Their minds are self-focused so their conversation runs in the same vein. This is not the kind of suffering Jesus is talking about when he tells us to pick up our cross daily.
When we must choose God’s ways over ours that is a cross that brings God glory. When all we talk about is what we suffer, we are attempting to bring ourselves glory.
