After Luke 14:25-33
Before you follow,
know the cost. And
there is a cost, always.
Can you walk away
from your parents,
from your spouse,
from your children?
Can you give up
the life you live now?
Can you bear a cross?
Can you accept the hate
and anger of those whose
ears burn when you speak?
Can you pray for those
who hate you, persecute
you, lie about you,
ridicule you, hurt you
with words, hands,
sticks, and stones?
Can you first
count the cost?

Too many of us don't stop to count the cost . . . May Jesus love and accept me where and how I am.
Blessings, Glynn!
