You know God is trying to tell you something when all four devotionals you read are about the same thing! The message is "it's all about God, not me! We can either submit to God's will and have His power in us or we can submit to our will and work against His power. Just when I think I got this and doing His will, I read a quote from Jesus Calling-"A yielded heart does not whine or rebel when the going gets tough." Ouch!! I may be taking up my cross, but I think I am following my will! Denying self is an ongoing journey, little by little God reveals to us where we are still putting ourselves before Him. When we make the choice to be a disciple of Christ, He will help us to let go of us! Today look for the places where "me" is whining and rebelling and ask Christ to help you let go of yourself!
Luke 9:23 NIV
23 Then he said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.
