Does this verse mean we cannot be The LORD’s Disciples if we hold on to ANY THING, like houses, vehicles, jobs, money, even people? Kinda.

It means count the cost. I hope you will get your Bibles and back up in the chapter. There you will find a king counting the cost.

Count the cost. What does it cost to follow JESUS? Everything we got? Yes.

Yes in the sense that everything we have we are to hold not with a clenched fist, but with an open palm. An open palm that says it’s all Yours, LORD, take it from me or leave it with me, it’s Yours.

There’s another cost I need to mention. Counting the cost of sin. What will it cost us? What does the Bible say? The wages of sin is death, isn’t that what it says in Romans 6:23? So, count the cost of sin. Is the temporary pleasure of sin worth not knowing JESUS forever? It’s a decision every human makes.

This is a promise.
To some, it’s a promise that enables rest and patience to wait.
To others, it’s a promise of justice, sure and ultimately swift, coming to every unbeliever. But let us not be haughty; rather, let us be moved with compassion unto action.
I am seeing some progress here, within and without. You too? Keep up the good work!

Rejoice with Me

If you refer back to Luke 15:6, you will read the same words: “Rejoice with me.”

If you move on in the chapter, next you will read the Parable of the Prodigal Son. Perhaps you will notice, as I did today, that the older brother didn’t rejoice with his father or his brother. He had his facts, perhaps even true facts, but it was not a time for discussing what had been; it was time to rejoice over right now.

We would do well to learn to rejoice with the godly good that comes to our brothers and sisters. When they come with meaningful words, words that have infused light into their eyes and sparkle in their countenance, rejoice with them. Give them those moments of delight. Don’t move on too quickly – take some time to rejoice with them.

Until next time  .  .  .  Kathie
