Consider The Cost

As A follower of Christ we must "Consider the cost" ( Luke 14:25-33) of following Him who has saved me from the path to hell. When I look at things the way I used to think ... I should be back working or running another business venture ... after all I am quite talented. Lotsa humility in that last statement ! Then I sit at the feet of Jesus and my outlook changes. I believe He is preparing me to be an Executive Director of a Teen Challenge Center in the future.
In my Moses post, I like Moses, say "I Cannot do this". I can come up with a hundred or more reasons why I can't be an Executive Director. Then I listen for that still small voice that tells me "For I know the plans I have for you," declares the LORD, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" Jeremiah 29:11 What can I say to that but ... Yes Lord ! I know that I have a long way to go but ... Lord, I believe, help thou mine unbelief (Mark 9:24b) I am the clay and you are the potter ... make me into you want me to be.
I have considered the cost and will do whatever it takes to serve Him and to make Him known. Am I the only one who struggles with the Jonah issue ? Why is it so hard for me ?
