Part 2: Luke 9:23 - Take Up His Cross Daily

Welcome to Part 2 of diving deep into Luke 9:23 with me!

Last week in Part 1- Deny Himself, I gave you my example of when the first time I denied myself and started my journey with Christ. Christ used my yes to his plan, instead of my own, to teach me many lessons and lead me back into a relationship with him. 

Luke 9:23 Part 1 - Deny Himself

I heard a morning show on the radio recently, they were discussing Luke 9:23's "Deny yourself daily" and how when you deny yourself, you open yourself up for God to come in and do his work in you and through you. This got me thinking, "When did I first deny myself which started my whole journey? When did I say yes, a true yes, to God for the first time?" 

Though a few things may qualify, only one sticks out as the start of my journey with Christ. Two years ago this December, I was a newlywed with a brand new baby and I was about to graduate college with my degree in Film when I got the call I had been working toward my whole life. A well-known production company wanted me to come and be their Assistant Editor with a direct track to becoming an editor on popular shows. This was my dream job. I was so elated that of course I said YES! 

Have you ever had a feeling after you agree to something that it may have been the wrong decision?
