July- A Closer Look (Pt 1)
I Will Follow
By: Amanda Underwood
As we have been studying songs on Wednesday night, it was only fitting to share this great song to go along with our memory verse for July- Luke 9:23
"It means that we lay down our own agendas and hopes and dreams, and faithfully obey day by day. It's a daily dying to self—the crucifying of our own petty and self-centered desires so that we might more clearly reflect Christ to the people around us. In the end, it's not about bravado and bold statements. It's about simple, ongoing obedience to the words of our Lord. To say 'I will follow' is really not so different from saying 'Help me every hour to die to my own desires, Jesus, so that you can live more fully through me.'"- Chris Tomlin
