Matthew 19:29
Would you suffer persecution from those you love,
if necessary, in order to follow God?
Micah 7:6
God never promised it would be easy. Though, consider price of such gods ... "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it:
and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it."
Matthew 16:25
Rewards for choosing God ...
"But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren,
and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions;
and in world to come eternal life."
Mark 10:30
Wouldn't you enjoy discovering joys, blessings, and rewards in completing your race?
It isn't too late.
