Portugal commented then:
"That
New Life
which is My Gift to every man who
will accept it" will be better
understood as one meditates what we have published in His Name under
the title:
Take
Up Your Cross
and Follow Me!
Until
man understands what He really meant by that sweeping statement, man
will be too afraid to die to self; to abandon him/her self to God.
I had a 'self' that many envied but, just as Paul wrote to the
Philippians....
"I
count all things to
be but loss for the excellent knowledge of Jesus Christ my Lord; for
whom I have suffered the loss of all things, and count them but as
dung, that I may gain Christ" [Philippians 3:8]
...it was
worthless when
compared with what
Christ offered to me and
is offering you!
