Count the Cost

I have a friend, who is of another nationality. She was a Hindu until she asked Jesus into her heart.

Her family was well off and were so mad at her for embracing Christianity, her Mother and Dad locked her in a closet and then shipped her off to spend the summer with her Grandmother in India.

Knowing the choice she made could cost her everything she held dear, she chose to follow Christ. Happily, her Mom and Dad still associate with her.

How would you react? Imagine the cost! Do you know, that’s what following Christ is about.

Do we really take in consideration the price He paid or are we so spoiled that we never give it a second thought! It’s so easy here in America, we have Christian radio and the gospel is at our every beck and call.

In other countries it is not so, they are killed and mimed for the gospel.

We here are so shielded and so far from the evil, we tend to relax and forget the cost!

Lord! Create within me a heart to feel the pain, of what my brother and sister go through. Amen!!!
