Verses: Luke 18 : 26 - 30
My thoughts about the verses:
So you might ask yourself what happens if I leave everything behind and follow God? Just think about what the disciples did. They walked away from their families and their life. They walked with Jesus learning how to be the first generation of Christians. They had walked with Jesus because of their Faith.
Jesus promises us two things one there is no one that cannot be saved. Anyone that chooses to follow God with their hearts will be saved. Those that through faith accepted the gift of eternal life will receive it. They might not have everything that they desire on Earth yet, their slate will be wiped clean.
Secondly Jesus promises that he can provide more than we can ever imagine. The gifts that we are given are not always of this world. Instead the gifts will be more than we can ever imagine could ever happen.
Faith is the only prerequisite of having the gift of salvation. Yet, we are often worrying is that enough. Is there more than we need to do to make sure that we make it to the loving arms of God at the end of our life? Yet, here is a point I want to make it isn't our actions that take away our trespasses. The actions of Jesus did the clearing. Yet, it is our choice to accept.
People have always wondered what Heaven will be like. I can't answer that question for you. Yet, what I can tell you if you give your life over to God here on this Earth you will find the one thing many of us strive to find. That gift is unconditional love. We think we find it in others yet, only the Savior can give you that love. God's love is a love that never ceases. I love knowing that if I was the only one that would have accepted Jesus he still would have gone to the cross so that I could be free.
So lay down your worries and pick up the gift of security. Lay down your struggles and pick up the gift of freedom. Lay down your past life so and accept the new life. When you do these things great things will happen to you. You will walk in freedom and love. Things that you thought were impossible will happen. Your life will be changed forever.
Prayer:
Dear God we thank you for loving us. Thank you for saving us when we do not deserve it. Thank you for taking away our worries and making us whole. Help us walk in faith with you. Help us leave our old life behind so that we can take on our new life. In the name of the Risen Savor we pray. Amen

Questions:
Have you accepted God with all of your heart? Have you left your old self behind? Have you taken on the new life God wants to give you? Is there anything that you need to let go of so that you can receive all that God wants you to have?
