  Luke 9:23 (New International Version)

   Then he [Jesus] said to them all: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me."

  I heard this in the car on the way to work this morning.  Do you think this means to deny the "little voice" inside me that tells me to

  • rely on myself and my ideas of how stuff works
    
  • doubt that what God says is true
    

  I then thought of
  

  Isaiah 55:8 (New International Version)

   "For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
         neither are your ways my ways,"
         declares the LORD.

  I feel as if I am reaching some new level of thinking about God, Jesus, faith, belief, and my life. And I feel like I've had a lot of it wrong for a long, long time.  Here's to unlearning? relearning?
  

  Even better: here's to learning how to follow God, love God, and listen to God today.
