We are God’s gift to ourselves given by Him. What we should do is give that gift away to others by making good choices and believing in ourslves in doing right stuff. Live miserly with your life and your means and no matter what you have in the end, you will die a poor failure. Don’t think you can ignore the Lord in this life and have Him make an inheritance over you in the life to come. Jesus warns about the consequences of being ashamed of him and his words.

It reads in “Luke 9:18-26 EASY> One day, Jesus was alone, and he was praying. The disciples came to him. Jesus asked them, ‘When the crowds talk about me, who do they say that I am?’ They replied, ‘Some people say that you are John the Baptist. Other people say that you are Elijah. And some other people say that you are one of God’s prophets from long ago. They think that this prophet has become alive again.’ ‘But what do you think?’ Jesus then asked them. ‘Who do you say that I am?’ Peter replied, ‘You are the Messiah. God has sent you.’ Jesus spoke very strongly to them. He told them that they must not tell anyone about this. Then he said, ‘The Son of Man will have to suffer in many ways. The important Jews, the leaders of the priests and the teachers of God’s Law will turn against him. People will kill him, but three days later God will cause him to become alive again.’ Then Jesus said to all the people that were there, ‘A person who wants to be my disciple must not think about himself. He must decide that his own life is not important. Every day he must be like someone who carries his own cross to go and die. Then he may come with me as my disciple. Whoever wants to keep his own life safe will lose it. But whoever gives his life to serve me will have true life. A person may get everything in the whole world for himself. But if he loses his life, it would not be any good for him. He will have destroyed himself in the end. You must not be ashamed of me and of my words. If you are, then the Son of Man will be ashamed of you. One day he will return and everyone will see his power. He will come with God’s holy angels, and he will have the bright glory of his Father God. He will be ashamed of you on that day, if you are ashamed of him now.’
