Thought For Today

Then Jesus told His disciples, “If any man would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.”
Matthew 16:24

Lord I wonder if Your disciples totally understood what You were saying to them. I wonder if I totally understand this verse. Take up my cross….deny myself…and when doing that follow You. Make You my focal point. Make You my earthly desire. Choose You over what I want to do in life if it is different than what I know You want me to do….deny myself.

Lord what my learning curve has shown me as I have walked with You is that You have all the answer for my walk with You. Your way is far better than my way. Your way is the way of peace and joy. Your way brings true happiness that lasts more than just for the moment.

Cross – thank You…..Deny……thank You…..Peace ……thank You…..Joy…..thank You….Happiness….thank You…..all mine for following You.

Thank You Lord. Thank You.
