Today's Verse - Matthew 10:38-39 (KJV)

And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.

—Matthew 10:38-39 (KJV)

Thoughts on Today's Verse...​

Jesus wants us to seriously look into our hearts and surrender those things that hold us back from fully following and serving him. We know what they are. He comes to us with his now nail-scarred hands and reminds us that he gave up everything to redeem us. He now wants us to surrender to the Cross the things that hold us back. Let's do it today!

My Prayer...​

Father God, Almighty King, I am sorry for the areas of my life that I have kept hidden away from the righteousness that your Spirit is working to cultivate in me. I now confess those secret areas of sin to you and ask that you cleanse me and liberate me from Satan's power that binds them to me and holds me back from wholehearted service to your Son. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

I am taking my cross and will follow Jesus all the way to His glorious presence. Blessed is the man and the woman who hears and obeys His word.

It is amazing how dependent we are on You Lord to help us not to hold back anything even one thought that could be used by the enemy to ever separate us from You for even a moment. Thank You for saving us to the uttermost in Jesus Holy Name. Amen.
