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.

It is exciting to see what Jesus does with our feeble efforts. We soon discover we are one most blessed! When faithful in little things, He empowers us to do so much more (Mt. 25:21)!

One day we will look back to remember where we came from and be amazed at how much we have grown (Jn. 15:2). Though we will know it really happened only because Jesus began to live through us.

Thanks be to God for His unspeakable gift (II Co. 9:15).
