Then he [Jesus] said to the crowd, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross daily, and follow me” (Luke 9:23; NLT).
Lord,
I want to follow you,
By turning away from selfishness:
Help me to bear my cross each day,
To listen, and obey.
Lord,
I want to live like you,
By changing and growing, all the time:
Help me to walk with you each day,
Choosing your narrow way.
Lord,
I want to love like you,
By caring for all who cross my path:
Help me to cherish them each day,
To nurture, serve, and pray.
Lord,
I want to be like you,
By trusting in God, and holding fast:
Then, whatever life may bring,
I’ll see your face, at last.
When Christ appears, we shall be like him (1 John 3:2; NIV).
I will see your face (Psalm 17:15; NKJV).
Amen 🙏
