What would life be like?

Jesus, what would life be like?

If I truly loved you with all I have?

If I truly loved my neighbor with all I have?

If I cared more about what you thought of me more than what others think of me?

If I actually put into practice your teachings?

If I took you at your word and stepped out in faith to partner with you in your kingdom work?

If I really took up my cross, denied myself, and followed you everywhere?

If I made love the ultimate motivation of my heart?

If I made your glory the ultimate goal of my life?

If I forgave others as you have forgave me?

If I slowed down to enjoy the relationships and people you have put in my life?

If I lived everyday in light of eternity?

If I let you have your way in my life?

If I made faithfulness rather than success the goal of my life?

If I do these things you said I would be like the man who built his house on a firm foundation. That no matter what happens in this life my house will be secure because it is built on you. That is what you said life would be like.
