Just me trying to be honest with God.

"Do you not know, dear friends, that the very essence of Christianity is for a man to deny himself?" Charles H. Spurgeon

 Thank you for leading me to the path of joy. I always find it when I let loose my selfish concerns. If it involves saying no to myself, it probably places me in the best position to serve others, and that is where joy is realized. I smile at the memories that have revealed this to me.

“Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me.” I tell you these things so that my joy may be in you, and your joy made full. ” Jesus Conversations Within” ts Aug 18, 2026
