“So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake
all that he has cannot be My disciple.”
Luke 14:33 

Mike Mason said, “The only way not to reject eternal values is to submit willingly to the erosion of temporal ones…A spirit of graceful submission is required of every person in life, and there can be no peace without death. One way or another we must all die a little every day, and in the process we will all suffer unspeakably.”

Our walk of faith includes the deliberate death of our flesh. This means, that ona daily basis, we are dying to our whims and desires, and taking on God’s will instead.
