This morning I read from Jesus, the One and Only by Beth Moore. In the chapter I read she discusses Christ’s interaction and Invitation to Peter (and to us) to take up our Cross and follow him. Here is a small excerpt from that chapter and a new favorite quote of mine from her.

The key to true “follow-ship” with Christ is the recommitment to take up the cross. Luke’s version of this invitation includes an all-important word - daily.
Dr. Luke wrote the prescription for the victorious life, and he wrote it for all of us who would desire to become Christ’s disciples: live life one surrendered day at a time. Eyes to the East. Hands to the cross. Feet to the path.
