Safety Blanket

We wish Jesus would understand our NEED to carry a safety blanket. However, he doesn't give us that option. Maybe we try to jam it in our travel bag as we depart to follow Jesus on the path. Jesus will demand us to ditch it as the road narrows. We can't travel the narrow path with the security blanket weighing us down. Traveling the narrow road you'll have to place your faith and security in Jesus alone. Maybe Jesus will grant you security in the way you hope, maybe he won't. But at least you'll escape this world with your soul.

Following Jesus comes at great cost. You will escape with your soul, maybe not much else. Is that ok with you?
