I have heard it said that you have to give too much up to follow Jesus. And it’s so true. You give up:

Your love for sin.
Your anger.
Your anxieties.
Your fear.
Your hate.
Your insecurity.
Your death.

He takes it all away through prayer, faith and focusing on Him.

So you give all that up and what do you get in return:

Forgiveness.
Strength and courage.
Peace and calm.
Love.
Guidance.
Eternal life with Him.

If that’s the trade off, sign me up.

He has done all that in my life and more if I just focus on Him. Is it easy? No. Is it worth it? More than you can imagine!

It’s not some magic pill, it’s a lifelong commitment. It’s not an easy fix, but you can change.
