Devotional
The call to die to self is a call to radical surrender. It requires us to daily choose God’s will over our own desires, to embrace humility, and to let go of our pride and plans. This kind of surrender is not about losing ourselves but finding our true identity in Christ. By dying to self, we allow God to transform us into who we were created to be, living not for our glory but for His.

Bible Verse
Luke 14:27 — “And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple.”

Sermon Quote
“It’s a daily choice to say, ‘Not my will, but yours be done.’”

Reflection Question
What is one area in your life where you need to say, “Not my will, but Yours be done”?

Prayer
Dear Lord, help me to die to myself daily. Teach me to lay down my desires and to seek Your will above all. Transform my heart to reflect Yours, and give me the strength to follow Your path, even when it’s difficult. Amen.
