everything i once held dear, i count it all as lost.

'take up your cross daily and follow HIm'

'let the dead bury their own dead'

'sell all you have and follow Me'

these are common christian statements we choose to repeat but not meditate on.

what does this mean? what do these sayings of Christ imply?

The Lord is teaching me so much about complete abandonment and humble servanthood.

i can say that i have reached a point in my life where God could call me to the bush of Africa to never speak to my loved ones again and i would go; or He could call me to the comforts of America where i'll be surrounded by family and be making good money and i'll do it.

whatever He wants and all for His glory.
