A Daily Devotional

About making a sacrifice:

Luke 18:28 Peter said to him, "We have left all we had to follow you!" 29 "I tell you the truth," Jesus said to them, "no one who has left home or wife or brothers or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God 30 will fail to receive many times as much in this age and, in the age to come, eternal life." (NIV)

Being a Christian is easy, sometimes. Being a Christian is difficult, most of the time. Christ's way is a difficult way to walk. Christ's way is difficult because only His children who truly believe and honor Him are separated out from those who just pretend. If following Christ was easy, everyone would be on board and enjoying the ride. However, in our history as a faith, following Christ has a cost. For too many of our Christian forebears, the cost of following Christ was the supreme sacrifice of their earthly life. If we will be honest, we must admit the hard road of Christ is the best road. For when we walk, stumble, and even crawl our way down His difficult road, we glorify His holy name. We must remember all of our pain and suffering for Him is worth the price we pay. What we give to Him brings to us a glorious reward. What glory we will see! What love we will feel! What rejoicing we will find! How wonderful to see His smiling face when we ascend to our heavenly home! Every effort is worth the price to be His child. The cost of every trial endured is worth the price paid to be His faithful servant. The pain of every hurt and heartache is worth the cost to be a part of His remnant�because some day soon, you will see Him.
