Everything, lest I mess up everything I try to say and do.
I can do nothing on my own, I need GOD in everything, so I must leave everything about myself at the foot of the cross.

There is quite a few things that I need to leave at the foot of the cross. Pride, lust, disobedience, and the list goes on and on. Yes I am not the person I should be, but with the Lords help, I am getting better and stronger each day. I am constantly trying to move into the center of God's will for my life. Thank you for the question, and God Bless.

The Cross is an interesting symbol in our christian life. Leaving things at the foot of the cross is saying to the Lord that we have decided to submit to His Will and to deny our self, take up the dealing of His cross in us and follow Him wherever He may lead us.
We need to take the cross of Christ's death in order to be able to leave anything at the foot of the cross.
TO take the cross means that you are willing to be crucified to the self.. which has all its " worries' its lusts.. its desires.. it stubborn will.. its various emotions like temper.. hate, pride...and allowing the Lord to apply His death to these things...
The WONDERFUL part to this whole matter of leaving things at the foot of the cross and having the Cross APPLIED to you is that on the other side of the cross.. there is RESURRECTION..
So let us not be like that man who had the cross on his back.. carrying it and moaning all the way...He went to the Lord and asked that the Lord take the burden of this cross off of him and to give him another cross to bear.
The Lord told him to open the door that was at the right corner of the room and to throw the cross in there. The man did so.. feeling utterly relieved to be getting rid of this burden. The Lord then proceeded out of that room and went around to another door.
He opened the door to THIS room and it was FILLED to capacity with crosses of various heights.. weights.. sizes... some went straight to the roof and were so heavy.. the man watching on could not fathom anyone carrying that load.
Then the Lord told the man.. ok .. pick one to carry to replace the one you have been carrying.
The man looked and looked. THEN.. in the waaaaaaaay corner.. he saw one.. the tiniest one in the whole room. He looked all smiling at the Lord and said.. " I pick that little one in the corner"
The Lord looked at him. He said... " Do you see that door that is shut, next to that cross u pointed to?.... That is the door you just opened a little while ago to toss that cross into.. that cross my friend.. was yours"
We all have something to bear.. but the Lord encouraged us that His yolk is easy and His burden is light. Let us learn to take all things to the Lord.. all the worries.. all the stress. the anxieties all the hate and anger...the pride and vain glory..learn to let the Lord CROSS OUT everything of the self and flesh in us so that all that remains is Christ. THIS CHRIST is a pro at carrying crosses. He took His cross and came out in resurrection.. Let Him be allowed to do that in you and i each day...
May the Lord truly carry you through this one sister.. all the worries.. all my worries... by His strength and rich sure supply day by day amen

I need to leave my dislike for people who irritate me. One of the hardest things to do is love unconditionally.

Impatience. Sometimes I can be impatient, but I am striving to be content with what I have whether it be little or a lot.
I love Jesus.

the swastika?
which cross?
think of easter and christmas as pagan observations based on the sun and earth, where the sun "crosses over (pass over)" the equinox of the zodiac in the sky at night, also why the date moves based on lunar calendar (pagan)
as yourself why you worship a dying/resurrecting sun born of a virgin, and then ask yourself why other religions have same thing but predates Xianity?

first of all, I would need a time machine.
I would not leave anything but tears for any and ALL who was crucified.
