Luke 9:23-24
Jesus said to them all: “If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me will save it.
What of Today’s Verse…
“I’ve just got to find myself.” Won’t ever happen. We do not “find ourselves, our life” by pursuing it. We find it by losing it to something or someone greater than ourselves. We find our life be losing it to Jesus and the work of his Kingdom.

Let usd Pray:
Master and Maker of all that lives and breathes, take my life and every breath and use it for your glory. May my words and actions this day be pleasing to you. Through Jesus I offer you this prayer and praise. Amen.
Words of Wisdom
No one is better than you
You are just as good, just as worthy, just as valuable as anyone. No one can intimidate you, no matter what kind of car they drive, or what their business card says, or how big their house is, or how big their factory is. No one is better than you.
You are the best there is. Inside you is the potential to do, or be, or have anything you desire. No one has more than that. Some may have progressed farther down the path at this moment, but that doesn’t make them any better than you.
There is no need for you ever to be envious or to feel unworthy. Your life is filled with possibility. Where you are right now is insignificant, when compared to where you’re going. Point yourself in the direction of your dreams, and every step along the way is golden.
No matter what anyone says, or does, no matter what your situation — personal, financial, social or otherwise — you can choose to live your life your own way. And there is no greater success than that.
