giving up

Luke 14:33 no one can become my disciple without giving up everything for me.

I think this verse gets a bad rap. It sounds like we're left without anything.

When God dreamed this whole thing called humankind up, He dreamed a BIG dream for each & every one of us - yes, He dreamed a BIG dream for me, & certainly a BIG dream for you.

It's only in letting go of our lives - yes, everything - that He is finally free to put into motion the life He's planned for each of us.

Until we do, our plans keep getting in the way of His.

I wish this verse had been a little more specific; something like this...

no one can become my disciple without giving up everything for me, so I can be free to create & guide this extraordinary, exciting, challenging, scary, amazing, breathtaking adventure I dreamed a gajillion years ago just for you to fit into the overarching plan I have for humankind.
