Matthew 16:24-26 says, “if any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me. If you try to keep your life for yourself, you will lose it, but if you give up your life for me, you will find thrue life. And how do you benefit if you gain the whole world, but lose your own soul in the process? Is anything worth more than your soul?”
To me, this is Jesus saying basically if anyone wants to pursue Him, put asideeverything and go full force for Him. If you stay in your ways and live only a life for yourself on this earth, when you die…where are you going? But something asked so mall of us as to get past everything that has been done to us and give God the glory He deserves, we find that SO difficult.
Example: boyfriends and girlfriends.
We go most of our life without meeting someone who completely amazes us and who we love despite their flaws. But once they’re there and enter our lives, they’re our everything. Some even refer to them, “their reason they breath…their everything…world..” etc, we’ve all heard those cheesy things. Why is we become SOOOO dependent upon someone who can only say they love us, but their love is nothing compared to the Fathers.
