If you cling to your life, you will lose it; but if you give up your life for Me, you will find it. Matthew 10:39 NLT
“There is no ‘best of both worlds’ scenario where our salvation is concerned.” In other words, there is no such thing as having it all! “[And] this is precisely why Jesus called upon His disciples to count the cost of following Him and to be ready and willing to lay it all on the line. (Matthew 10:39)”
“We can’t carry Christ’s cross if we’re still hanging onto our old baggage. And we can’t invite the Holy Spirit to dwell within us if we won’t clean out our “temple” and make a proper place for Him.”
Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to lose the weight and baggage of relationships that threaten my fellowship with You. You desire exclusivity and I must stay in hot pursuit of You, laying aside anything and anyone that dares to compete with You for my affection. All of me is what You desire and all of me is what I commit to offer.
Love You All to Life! 
Jesus—Our Source and Sufficiency!
