Sometimes it is so hard to follow Jesus.  Are you there with me?  Sometimes it would be so easy to be selfish and just do what I want to.  Yet I don’t that is the mystery.  Can I say that?  There are times when I am tired, when I am sick of it all or when I just don’t know how it is going to work out that I just want to throw in the towel and walk away.  Yet I can’t.  Why?  Because Jesus has changed me and captured my heart.

There is a quote by Ed Stetzer and Philip Nation that I absolutely love, here goes it:

It remains hard to live the Jesus way, to live and love in a way that brings God glory.  The power of our flesh cries out for us to be selfish and to refuse to love those who have not treated us well, have worked against our better interest, or have simply been the annoying gnat in our conversation.

This is so true, living in a way that brings God glory is hard.  It is treacherous, it sucks sometimes, it is exhausting and so much more.  However it is the greatest thing ever also.  No matter what comes, when we glorify Jesus we have true joy.  Joy that can get us through the hard times.  When we suffer for the glory of God we live life to the fullest.  So may I walk faithfully the Jesus way.
