Then he said to them all:
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves
and take up their cross daily and follow me.
Luke 9:23 (NIV)
Lord, honestly, sometimes I feel I am just pretending. I do and say whatever I think other people want me to do and say. I have acted a part for so long I am no longer sure who I am! Like swiping a pile of junk off a table, please clear off all that nonsense from my spirit and show me more fully who You created me to be. I choose to deny my own will and the will of other people and follow You completely. Lord, let a more surrendered me bring about a more real and righteous journey!
Questions for Pondering…
I am a Christian, but do I surrender daily to the will of Christ?
How would a humble journey like that play out in front of the world?
