The sacrifices you make for Jesus in this life — whether it be your time, talents, money, or a dream career — are only sacrificed for a mere 70 years or so. But the rewards for those sacrifices last longer than our finite minds can comprehend.
Is living your life for Jesus worth it?
A million times yes!
A million times yes!
Lay not up for yourselves treasures upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, and where thieves break through and steal: But lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust doth corrupt, and where thieves do not break through nor steal: For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. (Matthew 6:19-21)
John Piper
"So yes, we must count the cost in order to be a disciple. The cost is total in principle and may be total in actual experience. In the end, having Jesus means gain, like Paul says: “I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord” (Philippians 3:8).
