Here are three responses to the the Thought for the Day:
“Walk with Him, lay all at the cross….the cross is for all our burdens and sin….with the cross we are forgiven!”
“It seems as most of my devotional time, teaching and discipleship have centered on the the principle of self denial. It is a much better way of life.
28 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” Mat 11:28-29”“My “thoughts” are that once we know the love of our Lord Jesus, we are responsible to share it with others “His good news…..and not be ashamed of the gospel. It isn’t always easy or accepted, but we must share our faith either through our actions or though his words.”
How do these verses apply to us today? What are your thoughts?
Luke 9:23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.
Luke 14;27 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple.

My thought is that if you want to live a self-centered life, then you are living a life where you are your own idol.
