Sacrifice

Is it worth it? That thing that you have given up to follow Christ, is it worth it?

^{Luke 18:28}Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!"

²⁹"I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God ³⁰will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life."

Even Peter wanted to know if it was worth it. There is no doubt that sacrifice is part of our relationship with God. In today's world there are many opportunities for us to sacrifice for our Savior. Being in this world and not of it can be one of the most difficult. Especially when our wealth allows us comfort and our lifestyles allow complacency.

What have you sacrificed? What is it that you have given up to follow Christ? We are given a promise in Jesus' Words....."receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life". Are you a living sacrifice knowing the promise of eternal life is a promised blessing?

It's been a bit of a struggle being sick.
