| Lord, you are the only one I need approval from |
Jesus summoned the crowd with his disciples and said to them, "Whoever wishes to come after me must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake and that of the Gospel will save it. What profit is there for one to gain the whole world and forfeit his life? What could one give in exchange for his life? Whoever is ashamed of me and of my words in this faithless and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."
He also said to them, "Amen, I say to you, there are some standing here who will not taste death until they see that the Kingdom of God has come in power."
What could one give in exchange for his life?
Lord,
How often I do not think about this went I face something or someone who's opinion may hurt me or my pride?
Lord, I see that if I weigh all the difficult things against the possibility of losing eternity with you and act in accordance, I would not make many of the decisions I do in what I say and do. Lord, I need yo to remind me when I forget and give me the grace to do what is good and holy and when I fail, I need you to help me forgive myself and remember your forgiveness and unconditional love for me.
