In the same way, therefore, every one of you who does not renounce all his possessions cannot be my disciple.
Luke 14:33 CSB
Jesus makes His message very direct here. If you want to follow Him, you had better count the cost. He is not offering a life of pleasure, but a life of peace. Those who do not understand the difference will never be His disciples.
Heavenly Father, thank You for Your peace! The battleground of this life is far different when on the winning side. Thank You for Your love! In the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ I pray and praise You, Amen.
