Luke 9:23
"And
he said to all, 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up
his cross and follow me." ESV
If we
truly want to follow Christ, there is a great sacrifice of self that must be
offered. It is no longer what we want, but what He wants. It is to walk out
actively each day the kind of life Christ lived. In doing this, we have a
living, inspired relationship with the Lord God. Today, many so called
Christians believe they are living that close relationship with the Lord, but
they are only filling their minds with knowledge about the things of God and
exchanging their ideas with others who do the same. Knowing the Lord personally
is the way, not knowing about Him.
Heavenly
Father, please forgive us for wanting to know more about You than wanting to
know You. Show us when we get off on this path and lead us back to the real
meaning of loving You with all our hearts, souls, and minds. We ask in the name
of Jesus, Amen.
