Being worthy of Jesus...

Father, your creation declares your greatness and lovingkindness, encouraging statements of pure truth in our daily walk... As we should, we often view Jesus as kind, compassionate, loving, and gentle in spirit, but having said that, Jesus didn't mince His words when it came to telling us just how willing we need to be when it comes to laying our lives on the line for the good of the cause of Christ. Jesus said, "Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. And whoever does not take his cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds his life will lose it, and whoever loses his life for my sake will find it." (‭‭Matthew‬ ‭10‬:‭37‬-‭39) No, we can never be perfect, we can never be as good as Jesus, but that's not the point here; the challenge is to be WILLING to follow in the footsteps of Jesus, and in doing so, aspirating to be with Him forevermore in life everlasting... Thank you, Jesus, for showing us that you are the way, the truth, and the life; THE answer for those committed to seeking the truth in all things!
