Shunta I read this week ago and it is still with me. What came up is how Jesus usually responds to people in parables and here BECAUSE he loved the man told him exactly what he needed to do. And the simple instruction was too much for the young ruler to handle. I have to admit that I have been like the rich young ruler unwilling to part with my “riches”. Riches that don’t matter in the long run. Needless to say this was a good one, thank you!
This is why I love that God has given us scripture. We have an opportunity to learn, submit ourselves to scripture, and choose to lay it all down to take up our cross and follow Him! If you haven't started the 14 Day Devotional I think you'll find it so helpful in how we do just that! Thanks for sharing Nekisha!
