Nadia Bolz-Weber Quote
Jesus says, Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow me. He says, The first shall be last and the last shall be first, and infuriating things like if you seek to find your life you will lose it but those who lose their life will find it. And every single time I die to something—my notions of my own specialness, my plans and desires for something to be a very particular way—every single time I fight it and yet every single time I discover more life and more freedom than if I had gotten what I wanted.
