on self denial

I must deny myself in order to fully follow after God. 

But what happens when my desires don't align with His? Do I ignore His voice and just go ahead and do what I want?

The answer is not a simple one.

Prayer and discernment is required. Patience is essential. 

Daily I must die to my wants, needs, and desires to glorify Him. 

Sometimes denying myself is hard. 

Glorifying God is a key to self denial. 

This life is not about me. 

It's all about Him who lives in me. And denying myself is a step in the direction of sanctification.
