Lord,
Following You is no bed of roses.
If it were, then the world would believe.
Instead it's a major comittment
To follow, not stopping to grieve.
You ask us to put You first,
Before home, family and friends.
To make sure there is nothing before You,
Because, above all, You transcend.
You tell us to always be ready,
To come at the drop of a hat.
No time for goodbyes or excuses.
You want us beyond all of that.

This lesson has always been difficult for me. Abruptly dropping my family and friends for the cause of Christ takes a commitment that I would have trouble with. I'm not saying it couldn't be done, just that it would be difficult. I can barely commit to blog on a regular basis!
