It Cost Something To Follow Christ

It Cost Something To Follow Christ! When Christ chose to die for us on the cross. He knew what it meant. He knew what it cost. When I chose to give my life 100% to him. I knew that a new journey was about to begin. It cost something to follow Jesus. It really does! It begins to happen when we give him our love! It cost giving up a life that I was living before! It meant giving up many “pleasures” and much more! It cost some of my friends, and many bad habits! A new life in Christ... I want to have it! Whatever it may have cost… I count all I’ve gained! I’ve discovered the beauty there is in Jesus’ name! I’ve found a new way of living that I never had. I’m rejoicing in knowing Christ! I am so glad! The tempter often comes and reminds me of my past. I remind him that I have a life in Jesus that will always last! I’m not perfect. I still have a long way to go! But I have a peace and satisfaction within my soul! I’m grateful to Christ. Words cannot fully express. With him in my life. I am so blessed! Whatever I lost. Whatever the cost. I count it all joy! The principles of God’s word is what I seek to employ! God is my shining light and is always around me! I am so glad I know him and that he found me! By Jim Pemberton
