Scripture:
“Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross…” — Matthew 16:24 (NIV)
Devotional: Purpose is not about comfort — it’s about surrender.
You can’t hold onto your will and fully embrace God’s at the same time. Sometimes surrender looks like letting go.
Other times it looks like holding on. This devotional connects with Week 1’s theme “God Leads the Willing Heart.” God doesn’t force purpose — He invites surrendered people into it. The cross you carry is never heavier than the grace He provides to carry it.
Reflection Questions
