"Do you think the businessman who found the pearl was sweating over its cost? An obviously ridiculous question! What about the one who found the treasure in the field – perhaps crude oil or gold? No. Of course not. The only thing these people were sweating about was whether they would ‘get the deal.’ Now that is the soul of the disciple . . .No one goes in [discipleship with Jesus] bemoaning the cost. They understand the opportunity."
- Dallas Willard, The Divine Conspiracy, 292

It seems like every time I approach these verses my soul is stirred by You. My desire is to give my all. My desire is sell everything. My heart is for You. Am I doing enough? I know You are not basing my love for You on performance but is there something more You want from me? LORD I want to follow You in everything. EVERYDAY. I love You LORD.

Father … my heart wants so badly to follow you so closely & to obey your every command, but my flesh, this earthly body, struggles in so many ways. I ask YOU now to help this mortal body follow YOU the way my heart desires … the way that I feel YOU leading me, Father. I need YOUR strength, YOUR wisdom, YOUR discernment to live this life on earth. I love YOU.

Lord, please be my strength today. I need to rely on you to get through this busy day. But Lord, most of all, please help me to focus on you and never turn away from you. I love you Lord and I thank you for all of your many blessings.

How many times have I stumbled upon that field and got so excited about it, camped out in it for a few days or weeks, and then sold it for something that would fill my stomach. Oh God! Seeing the kingdom of God in action makes me feel like I am out in the cold looking into a warm home filled with joy, laughter and love. i am so thankful that Christ is always out in the cold on the porch waiting for me to invite me back in to the house I once lived in and reminds me that he has made my bed in anticipation for me and bought my favorite soap to wash my face with. Thank you Lord!
