Matthew 4:19 (NIV)
“Come, follow me,” Jesus said…
The disciples dropped their nets, sold their boats, and went “all in.” Noemi Chavez tells us: “The disciples never said: I will follow for a season to see if it works, or I will follow for a while and then we will talk—but no promises. Likes and dislikes are not important in God’s Kingdom. Those disciples were on a mission—till death! Life has an assignment. Don’t count on a safe, comfortable life. Evil hates you.” When we make our faith comfortable, we forget we’ve been called to take up a cross and follow. What cross do you bear? What have you sacrificed for the sake of your faith? What have you gained (Matt. 16:26)? Keep going. Follow Him with wholehearted faith. It is SO worth it!
