The Cost of Following Jesus Christ!
As I sat in my office at IGo grading papers, I found myself reading the same thoughts over and over from different students.
One student shared, “God showed me that I have not given up my rights and I’m still trying to tell God what to do in my life and when.”
Another student wrote the following, “I have to give back to God the rights that I was holding onto, the dreams and plans I have for my life, and the pride that makes me think that I know better than God!”
Visons of Responsibility, Pain, Tears
Dear God, You said to whom much is given shall much be required. Surely I am more indebted to you than anyone else in the world! And Lord, this morning again you have allowed my eyes to see and my heart to feel the pain and emptiness of those in darkness, and those in tremendous poverty without you. You have made me responsible for what I have seen and heard. Why, after these thousands of years, is there still poverty and ignorance like this? Why are not more people catching the burden when the need is so blatantly obvious?
