It’s a daily thing,
this taking up my cross
it’s about eternal gain
not worldly loss.
It’s an hourly thing,
this denying the self
it’s all about Jesus
not about myself.
It’s a moment thing,
this faithful following
it’s about pressing on
not fearful wallowing.
It’s a minute at a time,
this dying to myself thing
but, Oh what joy . . .
each day that it brings!

Luke 9:23
King James Version
“And he said to them all,
If any man will come after me,
let him deny himself,
and take up his cross daily,
and follow me.”
