WILLING TO=PAY THE PRICE

 

WILLING TO=PAY THE PRICE

 

THE BENEFITS=

Of traveling our life=with the LORD

Are LIMITLESS=The Lord

Gives us INFINITE LOVE=and

Peace of mind=but sometimes

There is a PRICE

For Following God=Are we

WILLING TO=PAY THE PRICE?

 

“Which ONE of you

When he wants=to build a tower

 

Does not first sit down

And CALCULATE THE COST=to see

If he has enough=to complete it?”                                                                                     Luke 14:28

 

Peter loved Jesus

The SAME WAY=you and I do

Probably more

 

This is WHY he made

The passionate claim=

“Lord I am ready=

To go with you=BOTH

To prison=and to death”                                                                                             Luke 22:23

 

But we all KNOW=when

It came time=to

PAY the price=he ran away

ONLY to redeem himself=and REAFFIRM

His love later

 

It is THE SAME WAY=with us

When the LORD=is with us

We are READY

 

But when we are=EXPERIENCING

The dark night of the soul=things change

Are we=

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE?

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY

That we never run away

Like Peter did=and we have

CONTINUING COURAGE

 

“The following night

The Lord stood Paul=and said

‘TAKE COURAGE!

 

As you have testified=about me

In Jerusalem=so you must also

Testify in Rome’”                                                                                                                 Acts 23:11

 

Dear Lord=we pray

FOR THE COURAGE

To be ready and willing for you

ALL the days of our life

 

NOT just to die for you

But to=LIVE FOR YOU

WILLING TO=PAY THE PRICE

And witness

 

“He himself=

Was not the light=he came

ONLY AS A WITNESS

To the light”                                                                                                                   John 1:8

 

“But you will=receive power

When the Holy Spirit comes

On you

And you will be=MY WITNESSES…….”                                                                  Acts 1:8

 

Dear Lord=we PRAY=

I pray=FOR THE FAITH=and strength

NOT to run away from you=

But to be YOUR WITNESSES=and

WILLING TO PAY THE PRICE

All the days of our life

 

In Jesus’ name=and in the name=of our EVER STRONG=Holy Father God!
