It all comes down to choice.
Walking with Jesus Christ is hard, He told us it would be.
His disciples told us it would be.
Why do we expect anything less?
Truthfully we do hard all the time.
Life is hard.
All of it.
Hard.
The question is:
What are you willing to do hard for?
What makes sacrifices worth it?
What truly satisfies your soul and fills you with peace?
The choice is simple, the things of this world or The One Who Died for you?
The choice is ours to make.
Personally, I believe we should be more grateful we have a choice to make at all. He truly is gracious & merciful to those He loves. He truly is a good, good Father.
““Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”
Deuteronomy 30:19 NLT
