John 21:19 Jesus said this to indicate the kind of death by which Peter would glorify God. Then he said to him, ‘Follow me!’

What would you do if you were faced with the decision of going off and trying to live a long and prosperous life, or giving it all up to follow Christ?

Be honest! Are you ready for the challenge? Are you willing to take that big step forward? Will you put your faith and trust in One God?

The benefits go far beyond you can imagine, but the price you have to pay may be more than you imagine too.

I was willing. I have never regretted it!

2 Peter 1:14 knowing that shortly I must put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

The apostle was under no illusion that he would be able to live a long life just because he knew God; rather he knew he was facing a shortened life because of that belief.

In the UK we have the freedom of being able to worship God openly and yet so many choose to ‘leave it for now’ or ‘come back later’!

NOW is the time! Not tomorrow. Not next week. NOW; just as Christ showed us!

Psalm 37:37 Mark the blameless man, and observe the upright; For the future of that man is peace.

None of us can ever hope to be perfect within ourselves or by ourselves; some religions or sects try to aim for people to attain such a position for themselves but always find it is impossible for all!

God created Adam and Eve and yet they were still able to be tempted and to sin. It is that sin nature within ourselves that breaks us and make us realise we need a Saviour who is willing to remake us.

Christ rebuilds us from the inside as we live with Him and it is only because He is willing to forgive us and present us as being perfect that we can be. I live for God’s peace.

Psalm 119:116 Uphold me according to Your word, that I may live; And do not let me be ashamed of my hope.

We all face discouragement and hardships at times, but God is able to hold us and keep us throughout everything.

Not only that, but He wants us to live our lives in a manner where we are happy and content with all He provides. But more than that, He wants us to live eternally with Him!

That way we will never be ashamed of saying that we depend on The Lord for everything, on all the hope He gives us through His Word!
