Denying Yourself Is Good For You

The idea of taking up your cross and denying yourself has been discussed many times in the church. I have heard hundreds of messages about this subject, but these ideas are often interpreted as one’s willingness to suffer for the Lord and give up our earthly desires. Recently, I discovered another perspective about the idea of denying yourself. I realized that it is not about suffering for the Lord and giving up your earthly desires but about finding peace and living in abundance.  I hope this message will encourage you as it encouraged me. I wish you would understand the reason why Jesus told us to take our cross and deny ourselves is that He wants to give up life better than the one we plan for or desire.
