You're afraid of what it takes to give it all away doing enough just to get by, thinking that you live the right life- "Just to Get By" by PILLAR
If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross daily and follow me- Jesus (Luke 9:23)
There is a lesson to be learned here. Think about it. Look around. How "comfortable" are you? Would you? Could you? Give it all up in a heartbeat at His command? Are you willing to be cast out from your circle of friends and ridiculed and made fun of for profession your faith? Will you SHOUT!!!! praises to God no matter how off key you sound in worship? Will you give up being the first to see that new cool movie to buy food for that struggling family next door who needs to eat? Will you give your 100 dollar leather jacket to that shivering cold homeless man you see on the street?Are you willing to lay down your life for a friend? An enemy? A stranger? Are you afraid of what it takes? Are you doing enough just to get by? Jesus did all these things and more just for you? Isn't about time we made the sacrifice for others?
