May this help:
"Whosoever desires to play it safe (as they see it, calling the shots) and take their lives in their own hands and trust themselves with the direction of their life, will forfeit anything and all things that I will accomplish through My life and death and they will be empty handed when they face Me through death. But whoever will entrust their lives to Me AND my message, and all that will come with Me and My mission and ministry, they find life in Me and making My memory known" (Mark 8:35).
Jesus said, when you trust Me and deny yourself, it's:
For Me and My message!
For Me and My mission!
For Me and My ministry!
For Me and My memory!
"For whosever is ashamed and embarrassed of the light of Me and My words, among the contrary darkness and worldly ways of a evil society that opposes Me and My words, will never ever taste the eternal reward of Me and My words, Me and My witness, Me and My will, and Me and My work when I come in the glory of My Father with the holy angels" (Mark 8:38)
Jesus said, when you trust Me and take up your cross, it's:
For Me and My words!
For Me and My witness!
For Me and My will!
For Me and My work!
"So Jesus answered and said, "Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel's, who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions because of Me and gospel, Me and My grace, Me and My goodness, Me and My glory—and in the age to come, eternal life" (Mark 10:29-30)
