[QUOTE="money_pit_yj, post: 463874, member: 7710"] That is one of my favorite verses in all of scripture. That whole passage just speaks volumes to what Christ wants from us. 3 And he said to all, “If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. 24 For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will save it. 25 For what does it profit a man if he gains the whole world and loses or forfeits himself? 26 For whoever is ashamed of me and of my words, of him will the Son of Man be ashamed when he comes in his glory and the glory of the Father and of the holy angels. 27 But I tell you truly, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see the kingdom of God.” I think so often we are ok with just doing the minimum to get by. We have our fire insurance so we don't go to hell, but we have never denied our self and taken up our cross. Then, when we do "deny our self" we do it on such a shallow level. We think because we modified our behavior or changed a few bad things in our life, we have done what Christ commanded us to do. In reality we are called to deny control of our life, to take every aspect of our life and offer it up to God on an altar and say "here, do with this what you please and may you be glorified in my life". Each night I pray for God to use me and my family for his glory. It is such a scary thing to pray because I am not real sure of how God will be glorified in my life, could it be through me facing a huge storm in life and turning to him for survival? Could it be losing a job, child, spouse, home, etc. and letting folks see how I let God get me through the storm? Im not sure what it is, but I am sure that daily I try to take control of my life and put my cross down and have to remind myself that Christ couldn't put his cross down. He couldn't put his cross down because God loved me to the point He was willing to send His son to pay for our sins and in order to pay for our sins and defeat the death that I deserve, Christ HAD to carry that cross. Men, please be in prayer for the family who is requesting them for the loss of their child. There is a post somewhere in here from this morning asking for prayer. [/QUOTE]
