Colossians 2:12 - It's become natural reaction for our to measure everything via what we think it means we'll lose. Salvation sadly no different. But what if we rather dared see it for all it meant we got to let go? May help more than we know. #Jesus #God #Bible #theforge #truth

Romans 6:6 - It's at this point sadly natural to see surrender for only the measure of all it asks we lose. But if all we really lose is a way of life lived lost and in chains there, well then what more might be gained in our so waving goodbye? #Jesus #God #Bible #theforge #truth

Luke 14:33 - It seems as though it's entirely easy for us to misunderstand the overall cost of this journey. And that's because, one day at least, it will in fact prove to cost us to lose everything we've ever had or hoped to be. Are we ready? #Jesus #God #Bible #theforge #truth
