When have you denied yourself?

As spoiled Americans we tend to get what we want when we want it. So let me ask you a question. When was the last time you denied yourself for the purposes of our Lord? Seriously, when?

Luke 9:23

23 Then He said to them all, “If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me.

Jesus makes it very clear that to follow Him we must deny ourselves!!! 

I think we had better think about if we are doing that and if not what are we going to do to be obedient. It is not an option!
