I as was reading the living words the Lord want me to share this with any who want to hear it. These verses have really hit my heart today and I want to share what I got out it and I would also would like to learn from others as well.
Matthew 16:24-27
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me. 25 For whoever wants to save their life[a] will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. 26 What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul? 27 For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.
The biggest question is what does Our Lord Jesus Christ mean by saying you must deny yourself to follow Him?
To me I would say that I am no longer make my own decisions, but I bring them first to Him because He the Lord of my everything on the day that I call Him Lord.
Here are few things that I asked myself on every decisions that I make
- Will this bring me closer to the lord
- Will this bring the Glory to the lord
- Will my Heavenly Father be okay with it
- Will this decision bring closer to the Lord or will I walk alone on this decision.
I would like people to share with me what does it look like for them to deny themselves to follow the Lord daily?
