Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it." Mark 8:34-35 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
Jesus is telling us that if we are to follow Him we should forget about our worldly desires and make sacrifices for His sake. Following Him is not easy because it requires a lot of patience, faith, courage, and love. God is also saying that if we give up our lives for Him, He will provide us with abundant blessings and surely He will give us an everlasting life.
