Grace for your spirit June 12, 2008

If anyone comes to Me, and does not hate his own father and mother and wife and children and brothers and sisters, yes, and even his own life, he cannot be My disciple. Luke 14:26

A young lady was stepping onto an airplane to start her mission work.. Her lifelong dream was almost derailed by a marriage proposal from a loving boyfriend, an offer of a lucrative job, and insistence of her parents and friends not to go. As she waved to her grieving family, somebody was heard to say, "So, is this what Christianity is all about?" The answer is YES. Often we have made Christianity, "churchianity". We want it all, and we want it now. Good mate, good family, good job, good bank account, and good church. The concept of mission and sacrifice has escaped us, and the principle of true discipleship is often shaped by us. Let’s put Jesus first, and watch how He blesses our mission and our lives

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
