LEARNING TO PAY THE COSTS

Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.

                                                                                                                  (Matthew 16:24)

It's okay to have expectations and personal dreams.

 However, one of the reasons why many bump into regular disappointments is simply because they are not willing to pay the costs associated with reaching those dreams.

Though God has given us certain things for free (eg: salvation, the Holy Ghost), not everything is free.


Jesus clearly referred to costs we will have to pay in Christian life, if we want to follow Him.

The sooner a Christian understands that, the better.
