Just me trying to be honest with God.

Never deny yourself just for the sake of denying yourself, but to put yourself in a better position to love someone.

 Central to the message of Jesus is that we “deny ourselves, take up our cross and follow Him.” We must say no to wants, beliefs, or desires that run contrary to His calling. His calling is plain, and that is to love the person in front of us.

“Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me.” Jesus “Conversations Within” ts 10/28/25
