Matthew 16:23-26

"You are seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s.”
24 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must turn from your selfish ways, take up your cross, and follow me. 25 If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. 26 And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but lose your own soul?[a] Is anything worth more than your soul?"

WHAT IS IT THAT THE LORD IS ASKING YOU TO GIVE UP SO THAT YOU CAN MORE FULLY FOLLOW HIM? WHAT ARE YOU SPENDING YOUR TIME THINKING ABOUT AND PLANNING FOR? WHAT IS YOUR FOCUS ON? PRAY FOR EYES TO SEE THINGS FROM GODS PERSPECTIVE AND NOT MANS AND GIVE UP YOUR LIFE FOR CHRIST SO THAT YOU MAY GAIN IT FULLY!
