These past few weeks have been a whirlwind of emotions, tossing me around like a leaf in the wind. It's like looking through a kaleidoscope and being bombarded with a burst of psychedelic colors all at once – overwhelming, disorienting, and confusing.
But as the dust begins to settle, I finally have the chance to sit down with myself and process everything.
As I count the losses I've experienced throughout my lifetime, I am reminded of the words of Jesus when he said, "Greater things than these you shall do."
For so long, I've believed that this referred to greater ministry, miracles, works, and accomplishments – all the things that the world deems as success. But what if the greater thing that Jesus was referring to was something entirely different?
What if the greater thing that I could ever do in this life is simply to serve without complaining, to bear things in love, and to live a life that points others to Jesus? Would that be enough for me?
As I ask myself these questions, I am once again confronted with the ultimate question: How much is Jesus worth to me? Is He worth losing everything for the sake of knowing Him? Am I willing to endure hardship, suffering, and loss if it means that I get to experience the fullness of His love and grace?
Most of the time, we are so desperate to partake in the glory of God without having to go through the fellowship of His sufferings.
I don't have all the answers but I pray that in the midst of all these losses, I can still see that Jesus is worthy.
