—Matthew 19:23-30
by: Katie Brown.
The disciples were astonished when Jesus described how difficult it was for a rich man to enter the Kingdom of Heaven. It seemed impossible, but Jesus reassured the disciples that anything is possible with God. Anyone who leaves their possessions, family, friends, etc. for the name of Jesus will be rewarded many times over in Heaven. This act of abandoning all for Jesus requires great faith, but God can and will work miracles in our lives. We can trust God to help us in the times when we need to make tough choices for Him and His kingdom.
