How much is my relationship with God worth?
How much would someone have to give to buy me away from God?
I would love to be able to answer that question quickly and say there is no amount of money that would buy me out of fellowship with God. I would love to say I would never sell what is so very precious to me.
But is that really true? If disobedience breaks our fellowship with God, then I am selling out every time I choose my own comfort over obedience. When I refuse to take a radical stand, when I fail to reach out with the news of God's love, when I refuse to give up my possessions, when I put my agenda in front of His, when I demand my own way, when I refuse to love unconditionally I am selling my relationship with God. I am saying that my desires, wants and comfort are more valuable than a relationship with God.
To what lengths am I willing to go to nurture my relationship with Him? Am I willing to give up everything to follow Him or am I using Him for fire insurance? Why do I pause at the idea of total surrender?
