Giving up everything?

Ok. Quick collection of thoughts before I have to go into work.

“If you want to be perfect,” Jesus said to him, “go, sell your belongings and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow Me.”When the young man heard that command, he went away grieving, because he had many possessions.

And again I say unto you, It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Matthew 19:24

 

What are we called to give? Our hearts? Our minds? 10% of our income?

 

Or are we called to be as crazy as Jesus? To give up EVERYTHING and follow Him no matter the cost?

 

This is the cry of my heart.

Give me the strength to give up everything when you call for it Lord.

 

According to His will,

 

Jordan

(P.S. I’ll come back and collect more of my thoughts)
