Mat 16:24-26 Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man will come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it. For what is a man profited, if he shall gain the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what shall a man give in exchange for his soul?
If you decline suffering for Me, if you shall not give Me your all, I shall still love you, but you will have missed My highest intent for you. What is it that you embrace and grasp so tightly that you place it above the well being of your soul, My child? What is it that you will not deny yourself and except My authority in?
If you will loose this thing that you prefer over Me, I will rush in and be your all and will give you the blessed assurance that you seek. Nothing can snatch you from My hand, but your refusal to let Me have your way in this will bring about consequences that will sting and stain your soul.
What is that in your hands that you cleave to? Cleave to Me instead and find the favor of the one who is sanctified for My holy use. You will never be content until you deny yourself in this and follow Me in all things. I am watching over your soul. I am your Guardian. Trust Me in this.
With Love Eternal,
Jesus

About Me
- editor
- Statement Of Faith: 1.) I believe that the Bible is the inspired Word of God, without error as originally given; it is the final and infallible authority in matters of faith and practice. 2.) I believe in the Trinity, one God is Three Persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 3.) I believe that Jesus Christ is God in the flesh, that He was born of a virgin, lived a sinless life, died on the cross to pay the penalty for our sins, and rose bodily and literally on the third day. 4.) I believe man is by nature lost and in need of a Savior. By repenting of sin and accepting Jesus Christ as our Savior (by faith alone), we become right with God: our sins are forgiven, heaven is our home, and we will live with our Lord and other believers for ever. Good works may evidence our salvation, but we are saved by God's grace apart from our works. 5.) I believe that those who have not received Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior will be separated from God and experience His judgment forever. 6.) Jesus will one day return to to establish His Kingdom. He will judge the living and the dead.
