Luke 18:29-30 ” 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 will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come, eternal life.”

Any sacrifice we make for the Lord is a mere pittance in the face of His gifts to us. For His benevolence surpasses anything we can ever give up for Him. And if we admit it, any sacrificing we do in the Name of the Lord can’t even start to measure up to the ultimate sacrifice He made on our behalf at the Cross. Yes, following Jesus means the giving up of self, picking up our cross and following Him daily…but the benefits far outweigh the cost…both now and eternally.
