What if God asked you to give up your life as you knew it? What if He asked you to give up your permanent home for His, where you never knew where you would end up living? What if He wanted your means of supporting yourself, in order to trust in Him through others to support you instead? What about if He requested your friends and family and social events and wanted to replace them with the orphans, the diseased, the lonely? What if He gently demanded your comforts and pleasures and loves to live with the poor?
What if He asked all of this from you? And you did it.
Then He asked you to give up more.

Wow....so many people say how much we (as a family) have given up, yet really it´s almost nothing. At times we feel the sacrifice, and there is joy in that, yet how quickly we sink back into comforts and ease. Sometimes it´s easy for me to think that giving things up, laying them down is a one off event and then after I will have reached the next level. But if i think that I am just closing my ears and shutting my eyes. Thanks for making me think again......
