What sacrifices are you willing to make for Jesus? Following Jesus isn’t always easy, but it’s always worth it. He calls us to surrender our plans, comfort and sometimes even our fears to walk in His purpose. “Then Jesus said to his disciples, ‘If anyone wants to follow after me, let him deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me.’” — Matthew 16:24, CSB) Sacrifice looks different for everyone. Maybe it’s choosing to stand firm in your faith, letting go of distractions, or putting others before yourself. Whatever it is, trust that Jesus is worth more than anything we give up. Drop a ?? in the comments if you’re ready to surrender it all to Him! #FCAGlory #SacrificeForJesus #TakeUpYourCross
