“To deny oneself is to be aware only of Christ and no more of self, to see only him who goes before and no more the road which is too hard for us. Once more, all that self-denial can say is: ‘He leads the way, keep close to him.’” Dietrich Bonhoeffer

“If anyone wants to come after Me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow Me.” Luke 9:23
