Q180 IDENTIFY

What does this mean to me?
What does the World say?
What does The Lord say?

Jesus said, "Whoever wants to be with me and follow Me must Deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me." Matthew 16:24

My next step is to take up my cross and follow or Identify with the Son.

This is another building block in my Quest for Freedom.
I must realize that my cross Identifies with His Cross. As He came in the likeness of man to Identify with me, I must pick up my cross to Identify with Him.

I must also realize there is a cost when Identifying with the Son. This cost is Identifying with His suffering and pain.

My suffering and pain is the very least I can do knowing what He did for me.

When I pick up my cross and Identify with Him it points others in the same direction.

The Son came to Identify with me He was not a victim as He freely gave His life!

I was put here to Identify with Him and I am not a victim either. I freely give my life to Him because He freely gave His life to me.

When I deny myself and pick up my cross I get to Identify with His suffering. It is in this Identification that I become more committed to His Ways and not my own.

I also realize it is in Identifying with Him that Wisdom is Born in my life.

This Attitude of Identification is another Key to my
Freedom!
