Title: Lose Yourself in Christ.

-

Matthew 10:38-39  And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me.
He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it
Devotion: Matthew 10:38-39 reminds us that following Jesus requires self-denial. We're often tempted to prioritize our own happiness and desires, but this can lead to broken relationships with loved ones and a lost spiritual life.
 Jesus' sacrifice on the cross is the ultimate example of self-denial. Despite our rebellion and rejection, He chose to give His life for our salvation.
 To truly follow Jesus, we must be willing to lose ourselves. This means putting His will above our own desires and embracing self-sacrifice.
 Prayer Point:
Lord Jesus, thank You for Your example of self-denial. Help us to overcome our selfish hearts and follow You, even when it's difficult. May we find true life and salvation in You.
In Jesus' name, Amen.

Title: When your time shall be over, you'll fly away.

Psalms 90:10  The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away. Devotional: Late music legend – Peter Tosh sang a song with this title many years ago. It came to mind yesterday while I listened to a beautifully delivered sermon at a burial. I therefore penned this devotional on same title. Do not be deceived, at a point in your life you’ll fly away.   There comes a day when the tapestry of your earthly existence is folded. The moments of struggle, joy, triumph, and trials will all coalesce into a story complete. When that time comes, the soul, unburdened by the weight of the mortal frame, ascends beyond the veil of this world—taking flight toward eternal rest.   You are not bound to the temporal; your essence is celestial. As the Psalmist declared, "The days of our years are threescore years and ten...it is soon cut off, and we ...
