To be a follower of Jesus is to forsake...material things, time restraints and religion/religious activities for relationships. It is putting aside judgmental attitudes for the gift of grace and mercy to hurting people around me. It is not just investing my finances but sending "me" and actually investing my time and energy in another person. Through my actions am I creating a desire for those around me to follow Jesus or the religion of the world?
Let me assure you I have not "arrived" but must daily make the choice not to look to the past and to previous comforts, but to the present and future trusting "God is working in you (me) giving you (me) the desire and power to do what pleases him." Philippians 2:13
