Today I in Crazy Love there is a passage,
Luke 9:57-62 to be exact
As they were walking along the road, a man said to him I will follow you wherever you go, Jesus replied, Foxes have holes and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head, He said to another man, Follow me. But the man replied, Lord first let me go and bury my father. Jesus said to him, Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God. Still another said, I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say good-by to my family. Jesus replied, No one who puts his had to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.
I was like well, this sucks.
One of the things keeping me in Wichita is my aging grandparents. If I leave and GO serve in Colorado next summer, then God could take them from me without being close.
They are saved though, others are not.
So, while spending every waking minute with them would be awesome, its not reality I would anyway one, and two, I don't think God wants that from me.
This. Is a hard truth.
