clinging

Luke 9:23 Then he said to the crowd, "If any of you wants to be my follower, you must put aside your selfish ambition, take up your cross daily, and follow me.

24
If you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it.

25
And what do you benefit if you gain the whole world but are yourself lost or destroyed?

26
If anyone is ashamed of me and my message, the Son of Man will be ashamed of that person when he returns in his glory and in the glory of the Father and the holy angels.


How many times in the last 3 1/2 yrs has God whispered to me, "don't cling to your life" ?

I think I cling to it less now than then.

I think I'm gonna have to cling to it even less in the days ahead.
