SAY YES TO GOD!

“Then Jesus called his disciples and the crowds to come over and listen. ‘If any of you wants to be my follower,’ he told them, ‘you must put aside your selfish ambition, shoulder your cross, and follow me.’”  Mark 8:34 NLT

“Jesus called the crowd together with his disciples, and said to them, ‘If anyone wishes to follow me (as my disciple), he must deny himself (set aside selfish interests), and take up his cross (expressing a willingness to endure whatever may come) and follow me (believing in me, conforming to my example in living and, if need be, suffering or perhaps dying because of faith in me).’” Mark 8:34 Amp
