Following the Way of Jesus

Good morning Brothers, Happy Wednesday. God loves you. I love you. Praise God for waking you up this morning. Take a moment to pray for someone. Today is a good day for change. And then was a widow until she was eighty-four. She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.(Luke‬ ‭2‬:‭37‬).‭Let’s sing, Jesus is all the world to me, My life, my joy, my all; He is my strength from day to day, Without Him I would fall. When I am sad to Him I go, No other one can cheer me so; When I am sad He makes me glad, He's my Friend. Jesus is all the world to me, And true to Him I'll be; O how could I this Friend deny, When He's so true to me?

Following Him I know I'm right, He watches o'er me day and night; Following Him by day and night, He's my Friend. Today’s verse is from Luke 9:23-24. Then he said to them all: Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. The paradox of following Jesus is that when we give up our life for His sake, we receive eternal life in return. When we hold onto our life and keep it from Jesus, we don't get to experience the abundant life that He promises. Take some time today to consider how you're living a life of discipleship. Take inventory on the ways you are denying yourself and living for Christ, or living selfishly for your own pleasure and gain. Commit to following Jesus no matter how hard the path gets. And pray for strength and endurance as you follow Him. God loves you. Have a blessed day.
