She said, "Many of us are happy to sing songs about Christ, write about Him, and talk about Him to other believers, but often when the true test of loyalty comes, we choose personal comfort over radical abandon to Him. We might take a few small risks for our King, but if He asks us to make a significant sacrifice, we often reason, 'If I went that far in my devotion to him, I'd be putting myself at risk. I'd be making myself vulnerable to discomfort and pain. I can't give up everything for Him; it's just not reasonable!' But Jesus Christ gave up everything for us. And He is asking if we will give Him everything in return. Saying a whole-hearted 'yes' to this priceless opportunity is the secret to discovering the vibrant, victorious Christianity of the Bible."
Is there a risk that God is asking you to take for Him?
Are you willing to take that risk, if only to discover the amazing adventure God has in store for you?
"Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God--this is your true and proper worship." - Romans 12:1
