... If anyone
would come after me,
he must deny
himself
and take
up his cross
and follow
me.
Mark 8:34 or Luke 9:23
There is no end to how far we can go in our
relationship with him, yet there are those who trust Christ for their
salvation and go no further. The point of salvation is just the beginning of
an incredible journey… Often we reach a place of contentment and want to
"pitch our tent" and remain there. But God desires for us to be mobile and
ready to follow Him anywhere at any time. His timing is perfect, so, unless
we are plugged in, we may miss the next exciting turn in this race.
