As Christians, we are called to deny ourselves. But there is a difference between self-denial and self-sacrifice and it is SO important to know the difference between the two. (Especially in this Hot Mess Mom culture we live in)
To put it simply:
Denying yourself- is actively choosing not to have or do something in order to make room for God’s Kingdom to be grown in and through your life.
Sacrificing yourself- is to physically, mentally, or emotionally die off or withhold a basic need that inhibits you from fulfilling God’s purpose in your life.
