How Much Is Enough

Have you ever asked yourself that Question? How far does God really expect me to go with following Jesus? These are questions that all of us have asked at one time or another, and the truth is that we usually ask them inside of ourselves, inaudibly for fear that God might hear us, and answer.

I guess the better question to ask ourselves would be, what don't you want to give to, or for God, and why don't you want to give it? Here is what the Bible says:

Mark 8 :34-36
And calling near the crowd with His disciples, He said to them, Whoever will come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.
For whoever will save his life shall lose it; but whoever shall lose his life for My sake and the gospel's, he shall save it.
For what shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole world and lose his own soul?


God wants all of us and He wants us to give it to Him willingly with a heart of love and Gratitude for Him. In order to really be a true Christ follower we must go 100 % for Him. 95% is still 5% short of everything. So today ask yourself, what is it that God has been dealing with that I need to give to Him? When you identify it then give it to Him.

Remember to pray for the service tomorrow and it is still not to late to invite someone. Come expecting God to show up in your life!
