Learn How to “Deny Yourself” in a Way that Honors God without Denying Your Humanity

Have you ever wrestled with the idea of denying yourself, wondering if it means you don’t matter? Many of us have been taught to put others before ourselves, but somewhere along the way, that message got distorted into believing our feelings, needs, and limits don’t count. When we internalize this misunderstanding, setting boundaries can feel wrong—almost as if we’re going against God. But what if denying ourselves doesn’t mean becoming invisible or neglecting our well-being? What if it actually means surrendering our will to God while still honoring the way He created us? Let’s explore what Jesus truly meant by self-denial and how it aligns with living a healthy, God-honoring life—one where boundaries and love coexist.
