"If anyone wishes to follow Me [as My disciple], he must deny himself [set aside selfish interests], and take up his cross [expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come] and follow Me [believing in Me, conforming to My example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in Me]."
~ Matthew 16.24 AMP
It is very difficult to deny my self for Jesus. Very difficult.
And it is even more difficult to deny my self for others. But for Jesus' sake, this is the implication of following him.
Maybe I can start with those I love and work my way from there. May God help me.
