What can you give up??? Will you give it up????

Good morning everyone!! What a great day to be alive in the Lord Jesus Christ. God is good all the time, all the time God is good!!!!
Remember, just before this the rich young man wanted to know what he needed to do to enter the kingdom and Jesus told him to sell everything. He was sad and left. Hence, the following conversation:
Luke 18:24-30 "When Jesus saw this, he said, 'How hard it is for the rich to enter the Kingdom of God! In fact, it is easier for a camle to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!" (26) Those who heard this said, "Then who in the world can be saved?" (27) He replied, "What is impossible for people is possible with God." (28) "Peter said, 'We've left our homes to follow you.'" (29-30) "Yes," Jesus replied, "and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or wife or brothers or parents or children, for the sake of the Kingdom of God will be repaid many times over in this life, and will have eternal life in the world to come."
Jesus reminded Peter that following him has its benefits as well as its sacrifices. Any believer who has had to give up something to follow Christ will be repaid in this life as well as in the next.
Don't dwell on what you have given up; think about what you have gained and give thanks for it. YOU CAN NEVER OUTGIVE GOD!!!! Just try!!! What stands in your way???? Give it all!!! Thanks for reading. Love ya all!!!
In Christ's Love and Grace
