Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. Matthew 16:24 (NIV)
We are usually prone to selfishness. We want to be the master of our own destiny. The captain of our own ship.
The way of the cross is different, radically different. The Master demands humility on our part. He wants us to say no to our way and embrace His. He wants us to hand over control to Him
His purpose is more important than our personal comfort. It is not an easy road, but His grace is sufficient.
Pick up your cross! Follow Him embracing all it entails. True fulfilment is found at the centre of His will.
Happy Sunday! Have a blessed week.
