Devotionals
Jesus looked him hard in the eye-and loved him! He said,"There's one thing left:Go sell whatever you own and give it to the poor. All your wealth will then be heavenly wealth. And come follow me." The man's face clouded over. This was the last thing he expected to hear,and he walked off with a heavy heart. He was holding on tight to alot of things, and not about to let go. Mark 10:21-22
Are we willing to give up everything to follow Jesus? Our possessions,wealth,social status? In this story the rich man was excited and eager to follow Jesus,but as soon as he was told to give up everything,he was sad. I feel lke thats me and a whole lot of other people today. We want to follow Jesus,but there is that one thing that we are afraid of letting go. The end result is that it becomes a hndrance,which in turn can turn into an idol. But do you know that if we give up those things, that God will bless us? God will not leave us to suffer,matter of fact, He will supply all of our needs! We just need to let go and let God! It will be worth it!
