In any true relationship, each party should be ready to make some sacrifice in order to keep the relationship going. Now the questions are:
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your Marriage going?
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your Family going?
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your Friendship going?
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your relationship with your neighbors going?
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your relationship with others going?
What sacrifice are you making in order to keep your job going?
And above all, What sacrifice are you making in order to maintain your relationship with JESUS CHRIST?
For example: look at Abraham in the Bible, he was ready to sacrifice his only son whom he loved so much than to disobey GOD.
Look at Daniel; he was ready to sacrifice his life (to be thrown in the Lion Den) than to disobey GOD.
Look at Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego; they were ready to sacrifice their lives than to bow down and worship the golden image.
Look at Apostle Paul; he was ready to sacrifice his life in order for the Gospel of JESUS CHRIST to be preached to the Gentiles.
Again, what sacrifice are you making in order to maintain your relationship with JESUS CHRIST?
For JESUS CHRIST our Precious LORD said, “If any man would come after me, let him deny himself and take his cross daily and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it; and whoever loses his life for my sake, he will save it (Luke 9:23).”
Thank You LORD for Your Word today in JESUS’ NAME.
Give GOD thanks and praises for ever and ever through JESUS CHRIST our LORD.
JESUS loves you. Learn from Him always. He and His Word in the Bible are One.
Thanks,
JESUS IS LORD.
