Follow Christ? Wait a minute...He Got Killed... He Went To The Cross & Died... WHY WOULD I WANT TO DO THAT?
.
What to do when common sense says "NO"... But Jesus says... "GO!" I think the key is to see the BIG PICTURE! Because...
.
Not Money... Not Power... Not Fame... Not Family... Not Friends... Nothing... Compares To HIM!
.
All these other fading joys are just a glimpse... of what His Kingdom has to offer.
.
Being With Him... is Worth Any Sacrifice. Matthew 16:4-26
BUT... it’s not for everybody... and few there be that find it. Matthew 7:13-14
.
I think the Lord gives folks what they really want. If it’s worldly stuff... they get it. Christ even let the demons have their way and be cast into a herd of pigs. Matthew 8:28-34
.
If you really want Him... then He might test you to see if you mean it. “Take Up Your Cross & Follow Me”... is not an invitation to a picnic.
.
Those that do really want Him... Those who are willing to give up everything for Him... In The End... They Get It All! Love & Hope... & Heaven. 100-fold... in this life and the next. Matthew 19:29
Take Up Your Cross And Follow Me
I absolutely love the daily inspirations on this website. I'm a single mom raising two kiddos and these bolts of light give me hope to keep fighting on. They really brighten my day. They remind me that nothing is too hard for Jesus. He never fails.

Wow. This is exactly what I needed to hear this morning. I was thinking about the future in this life, thinking how am I going to make it. He has always done so much for me in the past but what's going happen now? So, these are great promises.
Jesus, the same yesterday today and forever.
