Forsaking All...

 And whoever does not bear his cross and come after Me cannot be My disciple. “For which of you, intending to build a tower, does not sit down first and count the cost, whether he has enough to finish it--“lest, after he has laid the foundation, and is not able to finish, all who see it begin to mock him, “saying, ‘This man began to build and was not able to finish.’ “Or what king, going to make war against another king, does not sit down first and consider whether he is able with ten thousand to meet him who comes against him with twenty thousand? “Or else, while the other is still a great way off, he sends a delegation and asks conditions of peace. “So likewise, whoever of you does not forsake all that he has cannot be My disciple.—Luke 14:27-33

Consider the cost...yes.  Also, consider the cost of not following Him.  It is greater.

For what profit is it to a man if he gains the whole world, and loses his own soul? Or what will a man give in exchange for his soul?

Those who trust in their wealth

And boast in the multitude of their riches,

None of them can by any means redeem his brother,

Nor give to God a ransom for him--

For the redemption of their souls is costly,

And it shall cease forever--

That he should continue to live eternally,

And not see the Pit.—Psalm 49:6-9

The way of a disciple of Jesus is hard and the cost can be high...very high. Grief, sorrow and discouragement are often your constant companions.  The good news is that you do not carry these burdens alone.  

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort, 4 who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be able to comfort those who are in any trouble, with the comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God. 5 For as the sufferings of Christ abound in us, so our consolation also abounds through Christ.—2 Corinthians 1:3-5

The Lord your God is with you, goes before you and is in you. His righteous right hand will uphold and guide you as you make His footsteps your pathway. He will be your sun and your shield.  Beloved...trust Him.  The LORD will give grace and glory...no good thing will He withhold from those who walk uprightly.  It is His pleasure to give you the kingdom.  Blessed is the man who trusts in You!

I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me.—Galatians 2:20
