Lord... Didn't You Make A Mistake?
Why Did You Do That?
.
Noah... Leaving Everything To Build A Boat???
Moses... Leaving The Glorious Palace Of Egypt???
David... Leaving Safety To Fight A Giant???
Peter... Giving Up His Fishing Boat & The Biggest Catch Of His Life???
Matthew... Leaving His Very Profitable Tax Business???
Paul... Leaving His Job at The Sanhedrin???
And You Lord... Leaving The Halls Of Heaven???
.
WHY?????? BECAUSE.. They Could See... God Had A Better Plan!
.
Funny thing is though... Each Had a Choice... BUT... because they each could see beyond the day to day... dog eat dog world.... They Chose God! Matthew 4:19
.
They could see a better world... where Love and Truth and Goodness reigned. A World That Was Worth Giving Up Everything For.
.
The kingdom of Heaven is like unto a merchant man, seeking goodly pearls: who, when he had found one pearl of great price, went and sold all that he had, and bought it. Matthew 13:45-46
.
As the missionary martyr Jim Elliot said before he died... "He is no fool who gives up a life he cannot keep... To Gain a Love That He Will Never Lose."
