A man innocent of any wrong doing, yet he was silent when attacked. He was willing to die for all, not because it was His will but because it was His Father's will.
When we give, it is so easy to keep score. Pat ourselves on the back & feel good about what we are doing.
We want everything to be fair & everyone to be treated the same.
BUT LIFE IS NOT FAIR.
Often we find ourselves saying "Why do I ALWAYS have to do it????" Do you know the reason?
How many times do you feel that YOU are the one who ALWAYS has to back down or give up your desires, your wants & needs?
Much is expected from those to whom much has been given.
Jesus has shown us how to put others ahead of ourselves, how to empty our self & allow room for GOD. Because we know this we are the ones chosen to exhibit Jesus's teachings in our lives.
Yet the most important reason we should not count the cost is that is NEVER, EVER ends in positive good feelings. It brings resentment, anger & sinfulness and this is not what God intends for us.
So let us reflect on what we can let go of to allow GOD more room in our lives.
