No Sacrifice, No Change

Things are not going to change if I don’t change. Things will remain the same unless I draw a line in the sand and say “you can come up to here, but no further.”

If I want to see different, I have to do different. Radical, exponential, unexplainable change requires going against what I have always done–not falling back into or resting on what feels comfortable, what is easy and what doesn’t require sacrifice.

Obedience is better than sacrifice. Obedience to my God and my King, even when it causes me discomfort or to feel unsettled. It is time to be who I am in Christ ALL the time–not when it is easy and requires nothing. If it requires nothing of me, then what am I doing? Life is to be lived boldly, fearlessly knowing that my God has my back. He will never leave me nor forsake me. If He is for me, then who could be against me?

What are you willing to sacrifice, to give up?
