Good Morning!! many of us as Christians have a "yard-sale faith." This is the kind of faith where we offer as little as possible to gain as much as we can. God's gift to us came in the form of the servant, Jesus Christ. The relationship God offers us is a precious, priceless gift.
Jesus said, "Sell your possessions, and give the money to the poor . . . then come, follow me."—Matthew 19:21 (NRSV)
God wants from us a wholehearted response. Yet day after day we continue to ask, "How much?" Upon hearing Jesus' reply many simply walk away, as did the rich young ruler.
Jesus came that we may have life and have it fully,...so how fully are we responding?
O Lord, forgive us when we ask so much of you,...but seek to give so little of ourselves, in return. Amen.
"Obedience is the key to having the presence of God in our lives,
...if we're not obeying, we aren't really walking with Him."
