What would you sacrifice to know Him, to be conformed to His image, and experience the fellowship of His sufferings?
When the world is offering everything in warp speed to our ultimate satisfaction, then sacrifice for something or someone gets that much harder.
But sacrificing for the sake of knowing Him to being more like Him and the chance to fellowship with Him is a sacrifice I'm willing to make and it makes me different. Because most don't like the idea of sacrifice because sacrifice means you're having to give something up.
I don't know what I have given up yet, I have met some of the most amazing people in my journey to be more like my savior. I have had some interesting trials that He has used to mold me closer to Him. And even now during this place He has our family I am trying to see what I have yet to sacrifice.
Because for me I feel closer to the one who gave me everything- gave me freedom. I've learned to trust more and love more deeply and have had more opportunities to share about God and His love and faithfulness.
So again I wonder what is it that I am having to sacrifice?
In everything He has given so much and I don't see what He is asking of me as sacrifice. When spending time and a meal with people talking about life and common struggles or joys that we have experienced come so easy. When sharing with people about how even in the midst of this journey God has shown himself faithful time and time again and has given so many wonderful conversations about living our lives for Him. Our family has had to truly live out our faith in front of many and through it all we have been encouraged, held up in prayer and supported in so many amazing blessings that I am left with only the question ,What would I sacrifice and do I really consider it sacrifice?
