Fully His: Five Marks of a True FollowerNäide

I Die Daily

Luke 9:23 (NIV)

“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross daily and follow me.”

Following Jesus isn’t a weekend deal. It’s daily denial. Crucifixion wasn’t comfortable—and neither is surrender. True followers lay it all down. Not once. Every day.

Each morning greets you with two options: carry self or carry the cross. One leads to comfort. The other—resurrection power. The cross breaks pride, silences ego, and makes room for glory.

Jesus didn’t die so you could tweak your life. He died so you could trade it.

Declaration: I take up my cross daily. I die to self so Christ can live fully in me.
