"Blessings"
(Follow God)


(29) “Truly I tell you,” Jesus said to them, “no one who has left home or wife or brothers or sisters or parents or children for the sake of the kingdom of God (30) will fail to receive many times as much in this age, and in the age to come eternal life.”(Luke 18:29-30)


"Seek ye first the kingdom of God". God asks us to follow him, to fulfill our purpose. If we leave everything and follow him, we sometimes feel like we are making sacrifices to do so. Jesus says that we will receive many times what we give up. We will receive these things in heaven and on earth.


Thanks for these verses God. This is very comforting to those who are struggling with what they have to give up. But we will find that serving him fulltime is a real pleasure. We will be blessed many times over.


Dear God, thank you for these two verses. They are uplifting and comforting. Thank you, Amen.
