"Follow Me."

"Put your hand in Jesus' hand, and walk with Him...Walk ahead, because if you look back, you will go back..."--Momma of Momma T.

Such truth, right? How often are we like Lot's wife and look back at everything we have left behind? I know that I do it so often. Oswald Chambers says, "Beware of looking back what you once were, because you will miss out on what God wants you to be today." (I might have butchered that quote, but you get the point) I was reading in Matthew last night, and I couldn't help but notice one thing. Every time Jesus calls one of His 12 disciples, he drops everything and doesn't look back... He drops everything he once was, is, and hoped to be to follow his Savior. And when Jesus calls them to Himself, He does NOT say, "Hey, come follow me... you can still have everything in this world...Just casually follow me..." He says to count the cost of being His follower before you decide to follow Him...He says that you might have to leave your parents... He says that our ways are COMPLETELY different that His ways....Then, He says, "Follow Me." aka "No looking back...Just follow me...It's going to hurt... you might lose everything, but in return, I will give you life...to the fullest..."... End of story. What a crazy thought...What a challenge.
