What's it worth to you?

Sunday gems from Ashland...

Is it worth it? What are you willing to give up for it? Have you counted the costs before you chose to commit to it? What's it??? Your relationship with Christ! In Luke 14, Jesus sternly tells his "followers" to get off the fence and give up their lives if they want to truly be one of his disciples. This passage caused me to reflect this morning on the things of this world I gravitate towards, the temptations before me and the lack of self control I have in certain situations. Is my relationship with Christ paramount to everything else? Am I willing to pick up my cross and stop expecting other people to carry it for me? My heart feels compelled to remember my commitment and what exactly that means I want to give up because it IS worth it. It IS worth it to me to represent Christ, be consistent in my words and actions and to be set apart from the world that chooses themselves before God. So the answer to my title question: It's worth my life!
