Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Jesus (Mark 8:34 NIV)
Following Jesus is not always easy. It requires faith, and sometimes it requires courage.
Love, Cindy

One of those hard sayings that no doubt caused some to walk away. I can’t imagine living then, witnessing the crucifixions of so many, and then hearing a call to take up my own cross. Only with God’s help…
Have a blessed 2023, Cindy.

There was a time when I didn’t understand this verse, but the longer I walk with Him, the more I understand. Thanks for commenting, Annie. I always look forward to your reaction. You are a blessing to me.

Wow Cindy, A great verse to start the year and wow on the picture you chose. It has been very foggy the last 3 days and the frost here is on everything. Those trees look the same as when I took that picture. Looks like Narnia here.
