jesus followers.

3 would be Jesus followers:

1] voluntary (Lk 9:57)
even without invitation, he choose to follow the Lord...
Christ's response:
Be prepared. This is not going to be easy.

2] tru invitation (Lk 9:59)
preoccupied, busy with the things they love and used to do so there's hesitation...
Christ's response:
Stop acting like you're God.

3] with conditions (Lk 9:61)
the passion to serve is there but sets conditions before doing so...
Christ's response:
As if you're in position to lay conditions.

Perhaps serving the Lord was, is and will never be easy, but His promises are true, tested and proven, that He will be with us every step of the way.

Concerns and worrying over the things / people we love is actually illogical knowing that God can take good care of those things far better that us.

And finally, we are in no position to give conditions. Yes, our service is not a guarantee of a good life (the way we see it that is) but it purifies our intention why we serve. Not because of His blessings but because of who He is. Because and out of love. And that leads me to this: "to love is to give your best without any condition"


Live, laugh, and loveoutloud!
