Good Morning!! So many, want the title,...but very few, are willing to put in the work. We want to be seen as Christians, while still maintaining control of what we can see, do, think and feel. Why is this command to “renounce all” necessary? Author Nancy Leigh DeMoss points out that “to call Him, Lord means to say yes: to His Will, His Word, and His Ways. We can't call Him Lord,...and then proceed to run our own lives.”
So therefore, any one of you who does not renounce all that he has cannot be my disciple.—Luke 14:33 (ESV)
It is impossible for us to fully obey Him, while trying to hold things back from Him, and attempting to remain in control of our own lives,...it's entirely un-reasonable. When we think of Christ,...who He is,...and what He did for us, total surrender is the only logical response to His love and mercy.

Surrendering everything to Jesus is absolutely necessary,...and only right.
Love so amazing, so divine, demands our soul, our life, our all. Lord, help us to willingly surrender to You. Amen.
"God speaks to those who take time to listen,...and He listens to those who take time to pray."
