Jesus calls us to count the cost before following Him. True discipleship means surrendering everything—not because God takes, but because He already owns it all.
Jesus’ call to follow
Jesus calls every believer to carry the cross as a daily act of surrender, faith, and obedience. This devotional explores what it truly means to follow Christ, die to self, and live in the transforming power of His grace.
