When you truly love something, you sacrifice for it. You gladly give your time, your energy, and sometimes even your own comfort. Following Jesus is no different. Except He doesn't want to be just another item on your priority list—He wants to be at the center of everything you do. Jesus loved you so much that He gave His life so you could spend eternity with Him. If He gave everything for us, shouldn't it be our joy to give everything to Him? Denying yourself isn't about missing out. It's about laying aside what you want so you can walk in what He wants. That's where life is found. Jesus said if you lose your life for His sake, you'll find it. It may not make sense to the world, but not everything God asks us to do will. Our job isn't to understand everything—it's to obey and watch Him work. Father, thank You for Jesus' sacrifice. Help me deny myself daily, take up my cross, and follow You. Teach me to trust You even when I don't understand. In Jesus' Name, Amen. #DailyVerse #FollowJesus #DenyYourself #LeftFieldSessions #NoneOfMeAllOfHim
