No Reserves. No Retreats. No Regrets.

It's not that following Jesus wasn't important to this man, but following Jesus wasn't his top priority. . . Many fans say to Jesus, "I will follow. Anything and everything I have, I give to you." But Jesus points to what you're hiding behind your back and says, "What about that?". . . They are willing to follow Jesus, but the relationship isn't exclusive. . . Jesus doesn't want followers who have a divided affection or a split allegiance. . . When you accept the invitation to follow Jesus, you are not just saying that He is a top priority in your life; you are making Him the only priority in your life. . . Jesus loves you so much. He died to have a relationship with you. He will not share your heart with anyone. . . The reason Jesus is so adamant about followers surrendering everything is because the reality is this: the one thing we are most reluctant to give up is the one thing that has the most potential to become a substitute for Him.


No Reserves. No Retreats. No Regrets. Is that the way you are living your life as a follower of Christ? What would change if you were to go all-in and be completely committed in following Jesus.

For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him. -2 Chronicles 16:9
