"If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it."
(Luke 9:23-24, NIV)
Think about that for a minute. This is what Jesus tells us in the book of Luke. A lot of people have read it, but how many of those people have listened? I am always listening for God to tell me something I can do for Him. Even when He gives me direction sometimes I get scared and say no. I let God down. I hate letting God down. I become so ashamed of myself sometimes and it eats me up. Every living creature does God's will except the human race, because we have the guts to say "no". I need to lose my life for Him. I can't afford to say no.
