Today I will find the life Christ intends for me by abandoning the life I intend for myself. I must make my declaration of dependence upon Christ, His footsteps, His cross. There is no other option.
Matthew 16:24-25
Then Jesus said to his disciples, “If anyone wants to follow in my footsteps he must give up all right to himself, take up his cross and follow me. For the man who wants to save his life will lose it; but the man who loses his life for my sake will find it. For what good is it for a man to gain the whole world at the price of his own soul? What could a man offer to buy back his soul once he had lost it?”
Phillips
Today I will follow in Christ’s footsteps to His Father’s altar.
