Large crowds were traveling with Jesus, and he turned and said to them, “If anyone comes to me but loves his father, mother, wife, children, brothers, or sisters—or even life—more than me, he cannot be my follower. Whoever is not willing to carry his cross and follow me cannot be my follower. Luke 14:25-27 (NCV)
It seems to be a fine line I walk between loving life and loving Jesus and it’s when I start to think that I would rather be with my family than here that I cross the line. I sure do miss them but I also truly believe this is where I’m supposed to be…right here, right now even if I don’t completely (or at all!) understand the reason or purpose.
This is a hard line for me to walk right now but I’m trusting God to walk it with me.
