"The cross is the greatest example
of humility and devotion in the universe.
Jesus put your needs ahead of His own.
He considered you more valuable
than Himself."

"I should as soon expect a farmer to
prosper in business who contented himself
with sowing his fields and never looking
at them till harvest,
as expect a believer to attain much holiness
who was not diligent about his Bible reading,
his prayers, and the use of his Sundays."
Written By: J. C. Ryle

"Cast not away your confidence because
God defers His performances.
That which does not come in your time,
will be hastened in His time,
which is always the more convenient season.
God will work when He pleases,
how He pleases,
and by what means He pleases.
He is not bound to keep our time,
but He will perform his word,
honour our faith,
and reward them that diligently seek Him."
"The first lesson in Christ's
school is self-denial."
Written By: Matthew Henry

"I take the love of God and
self-denial to be the sum
of all saving grace."

Following Jesus is not always
pleasant.
Following Jesus is not always
fun.
Following Jesus is not always
joyful.
Following Jesus is not always
a popular decision.
Following Jesus is often a
daily challenge.
Following Jesus is often a
test of self-discipline,
self-deniel, self-control.
Following Jesus is often a
test of will.....
giving into self willfulness,
or giving into Gods Holy
will.
Following Jesus is often
a very lonely road to
travel.
We must ask ourselves
every single morning when
we rise with the sun.....
Am I willing to follow Jesus
today no matter where He
leads, even if it means taking
me out of my comfort zones?
What is your answer today?
