I thought to myself, future me will leave everything I have and to follow Jesus. But then I read through Mark's gospel, and came across a conversation between the Rich Young Ruler and Jesus. Jesus challenged the man to sell all he owns so that he could follow Him and have eternal life.
"But at this the man’s face fell, and he went away sad, for he had many possessions."
That's when I realized my plan was flawed - I couldn't trust future me - especially the version of me with more.
After working as an engineer for 10 years, my heart was pressed with following Jesus today. Now I'm a Church planter, Evangelist, and Pastor. There's one detail that brings me comfort in what I have given up, Jesus' intention is to love me. When he questioned the Rich Young Ruler there is a detail that stood out,
"Looking at the man, Jesus felt genuine love for him."
I am trusting in God's love for my life, the mission, and my family.
