Are you okay to leave EVERYTHING behind to FOLLOW JESUS?
As I lay down in bed thinking about these hard decisions I have to make regarding letting go of things that no longer serve me. I heard the Holy Spirit say “are you okay to leave everything behind to follow Jesus?”. Then the Holy Spirit reminded me about Jesus and the 12 disciples. When Jesus called the disciples to Follow him and they dropped what they were doing and left everything behind and didn’t even think twice to make a decision to follow him and they didn’t know him but they followed him. But why is it so hard for us to drop everything and just follow. Why are we making things hard when it’s just so simple. We need boldness as a body of Christ. Like the 12 disciples followed Jesus. Some followed him to the cross and some to the everlasting life. They walked away from the old life to get a new life in Christ Jesus. I know people may understand and some won’t and that’s okay. Some family and friends have to get left behind. So many stories in the Bible show individuals leaving family and friends behind to walk with the Lord. God will have to be done on earth as it is in heaven. Not everyone is going where God is calling you in this season, sometimes it’s just you and him for a moment.
