Christian life, a Scarifies
“Follow your passion be prepared to work hard and sacrifices and above all don’t let anyone limit your dream” Donavan Bailey
What shall I offer to the Lord to please him? Which scarifies have we made in our Christian lives to please God my dear brothers and sisters in the Lord If you want to be Christ follower you must be ready for scarifies something for God, it might be your time, job or what we like doing must , a life of Christian is integration of scarifies, if you cannot scarifies then you cannot be a Christ follower, as we see in today reading when the call of Simon all those things that give you pleasure, you must be ready to scarifies them for the sake of God “but when I found Christ all those things that I might consider as profit I begin to reckon as loos. Still more, I regard everything as loss compared to the surpassing love value of knowing Christ” Phil 3:7-8 if you are a Christian and you have not scarifies anything to him, you have not truly know God all those thing you consider as important, Pleasants to you that are drawing you back in serving God cut off from them today and follow Christ “if your eye will cause you sin, gouge it out and throw it away is be is better to enter life eternal with one eye than your two eye thrown into hell fire” Matt 18:19 Is it friends, co-workers etc. abandon them and follow Christ as he called Simon today his also calling you “Oh the today you will listen to his voice harden not your heart” Heb 3:7
