But Jesus turned round, looked at his disciples, and rebuked Peter. “Get away from me, Satan,” he said. “Your thoughts don't come from God but from human nature!” Then Jesus called the crowd and his disciples to him. “If anyone wants to come with me,” he told them, “he must forget self, carry his cross, and follow me.
Mark 8:33-34 GNBDK
Reflections:
Our actions precede from our thoughts, and therefore we have to be very careful about how we think. The better way of doing this, is to think what would Jesus do? And his word gives us the answer to every situation we are in. It is in doing so that we will deny ourselves and put God first.
Prayer:
I pray that God our Father gives you the grace to humbly deny yourself as you put Jesus first in your life. In doing so, may you experience steadfast peace and joy in the depths of your heart. And may His Holy Spirit help you yeild to God as you bear much Fruit. Amen
God Bless you and your loved ones :)
