Is discipleship always costly? No, it may not cost us our physical lives, but it will cost us. It will cost us our plans, our will, and selfish desires.
Jesus' standard has not changed:"If anyone desires to come after Me, let him DENY himself, and take up his cross and follow Me." Instead of us controlling our lives, we turn them over to Christ as Lord.
Someone once said "Salvation is free, but not cheap," - meaning it cost Christ His life, and it will cost us as well. It is never easy to give control of our life to Christ - but it will always be worth it.
In regards to turning over control of our lives, could anything be greater? Could anything be more fulfilling?
Follow Christ and at life's end we will be able to say "no regrets!" Have a blessed day.
