Luke 9:23: 'If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me.'
Luke adds a word the other gospel writers don't: daily.
The cross isn't taken up once. It's taken up every morning.
Yesterday's surrender doesn't cover today. Today needs its own yes.
That's both sobering and freeing. You only have to do today. Tomorrow has its own grace.
