Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 18 Dec 2008

Words of Encouragement for Every New Day ~ 18 Dec 2008

There is power in sacrifice

By human standards, to follow our heart, to do the things that God has called us to do, is a “huge sacrifice”. However, that is by human standards. True sons and daughters of God would not care about the “human standards,” they are after all that God has. Today’s words of encouragement are about recognizing that there is power in sacrificing to follow after everything God has.

The sacrifices to give up everything we want in life to follow Jesus is not easy. If it were, everyone would do it. How many of us would follow our heart for a cause, which would mean giving up your lifestyle, stable salary, and to live below your comfort level?

Jesus says to us all in Luke 6:46, Why do you cal me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say? Let us examine our hearts right now. Are we doing what God says, or are we following our own course?

Luke 10:2 The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. This verse confirms to us all that to follow Jesus is not easy. My final question is the most important question today: what kind of life do you want to live?
