Whine… Well they got all their money selling baggie snatchers. They had a rich dad, I don’t have enough time, talent, brains, friends, Im tired, I don’t like my looks, I don’t like my job…. My life sucks, My hair is falling out, I will never afford a house, a horse a mouse….

its just the life I live….

 

Matthew 16:24-27

24 Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. 25 For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake will find it. 26 For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul? 27 For the Son of Man will come in the glory of His Father with His angels, and then He will reward each according to his works.

(v.24 pick up your cross) 

Death = 

(take up your cross)

The cross is something you choose for Christ. It is not a hard season in life. You are choosing to deny yourself and do what God wants you to do. It is a price you choose to pay. 

 

You take up your cross to do what Jesus did… love others, serve others tell others about Him!

 

 

The cross was horrible… but it also was understood that this person deserved that…. they chose by committing the crime - they were choosing the CROSS! 

 

I RIGHTFULLY AND JOYFULLY PICK UP MY CROSS… It is what I deserve in following Jesus. 

It is a pleasure to suffer for Jesus!

 

Ps. 96:2 Sing to the Lord; praise his name.
    Each day proclaim the good news that he saves.

3 Publish his glorious deeds among the nations.
    Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

Devotion (follow me)

You are choosing Jesus as your identity. AND PEOPLE WILL KNOW IT!

 

 

TWEET THIS

*Your devotion will become your identity!

 

You understand someones identity by their dress, words, actions, goals…

 

 

My identity is denying myself and choosing to suffer to make known the love of God.
