Then Jesus told his disciples, ‘If any want to become my followers, let them deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me’. Matthew 16:24

“Anyone who loves his father or mother more than Me is not worthy of Me; anyone who loves his son or daughter more than Me is not worthy of Me; and anyone who does not take up his cross and follow Me is not worthy of Me.” My brothers and sisters in Christ, who are we loving more that God? Know that our God is a jealous God! If we want to be followers of God, we must first give up following our own way, take up our cross whatever that may be and follow Jesus.
