Reputation

Mark 8:34-35 "Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it."

I heard a speaker at a conference this weekend say that when we start walking in the glory, many will drop us like a hot potato. Jesus made himself of no reputation and we are called to do the same.
Today's prayer: "God, I give to you my reputation. Help me not to care what others think of me. Help me not to even ponder it in my heart. Help me to not have an opinion of another's opinion of me. I have to follow hard after you. Where else would I go Lord? I can never go back. I must only go forward."
