Day 430 – Luke 9:24
For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will save it. Luke 9:24, NIV Don’t just think of your desires, or else you will lose your life. When we are too focused on things that will satisfy us, we will find our lives meaningless. True life is found in the arms of Jesus. It’s in His presence that we will discover our true identity. So when you choose to walk away from His plans, then you will end up in destruction. Surrender your life to Jesus. Choose to suffer for His glory. And only then will you discover what it means…

However, there will be times in life when He would want us to experience deep fulfillment that will sometimes take time to arrive. There are journeys in life that started well but remain unfinished.

Day 429 – Luke 9:23
Then He said to them all: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me. Luke 9:23, NIV Jesus didn’t promise a life full of fun and adventures. In fact, He said that those who want to be His disciples must learn to deny themselves. It means there will be moments when you need to forget yourself and choose to follow His will. We need to learn how to serve others and not just satisfy our selfish desires. Aside from that, Jesus also encouraged His disciples to take up their cross, which means that there will be challenges along the way.…

Day 428 – Luke 9:20
“But what about you? he asked. “Who do you say I am?” Luke 9: 20, NIV Jesus asked this question to His disciples. He wanted to know who He was in their eyes. The disciples answered according to what they saw and heard. And Peter answered that He is God’s messiah. How about you? Who do you think Jesus is?
