To commit to Jesus is to pour out all that we have. It’s to empty ourselves for love of Him.
It is the most costly thing we can ever do.
Let’s remember the truth at the heart of our faith: that Christ poured Himself out for us, emptying Himself and surrendering to death on a Cross, all for love of us.
What do you need to surrender today?
