Yes, Jesus replied, “and I assure you that everyone who has given up house or brothers or sisters or mother or father or children or property, for my sake and for the Good News will receive now in return a hundred times.”
-Mark 10:29-30 (NLT)
A HUNDRED TIMES MORE
A poem and essay by ILMA
When you give your all to Jesus Christ
He will honor you and bless your life
For everything you give up for his sake
You will be given a hundred times more to take.
When he asks you to sacrifice someone you treasure
Trust him with all your heart for he will reassure
Honor God by giving him what he requires
He will give back to you more than you can ever desire.
Have you ever been with someone who is generous? They make you feel so loved. On the other hand, a stingy person makes you feel worthless. God is the epitome of love and giving. He gave us everything he has, even his one and only begotten Son.
The bible tells us God’s assurance to those who would give up anything for his sake and the Good News. His promise is a hundred times more for those who do everything to glorify him and his word. What an abundant promise!
PRAYER
Lord, I give you all I have.
REFLECTION
Can you give up what you treasure most for God’s sake and the gospel?
