Thought For Today

(Jesus continued) “He who loves father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who loves son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and he who does not take his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.” Matthew 10:37, 38

Lord this brings back vivid memories of forty years ago when I read this verse and had to search my heart only to stumble and pray when I came to the word ‘son’….. That was a very hard one for me Lord because I felt like Abraham when he put his son Isaac on the alter. I too had to give You my son and put You before him. I remember the struggle with tears in my eyes as if it were today. You ask our all Lord and that means those that are closest to us. You must be first in our lives and I thank You for Your power to help us put You first. In my own strength I could not do that. It was with Your strength that I struggled through to put You first.

Thank You Lord that You never call us to do anything without giving us the ability to do it. You are always there with Your strength and power to help us and I thank You.

Thank You Lord. Thank You!
