Mat 8:19-22 And a certain scribe came, and said unto him, Master, I will follow thee whithersoever thou goest. And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. And another of his disciples said unto him, Lord, suffer me first to go and bury my father. But Jesus said unto him, Follow me; and let the dead bury their dead.
Precious one, why is it that you are delaying following Me in this? Why are you saying at some more convenient time? Why do you say after this or that? Do you not care that I can not rest My head upon your shoulder now? Do not delay in following Me. Do not let that distraction keep you from carrying your cross daily. I have called you by name. I have laid down My life for You. I have bid you to come and walk upon the water with Me. I have called you to do great and mighty things in My name. If you put this off for a more convenient season, I say that you will give rise for Satan to deter you with many more reasons the following Me will never be convenient. Think on these things, child and wonder if I would so readily say no to you. Don't wait until the midnight hour when the decision can no longer be made. Follow me now. I have many surprises in store for you, beloved. Might I persuade you with My love and devotion to you?
With Love Eternal,
Jesus
How easy to think it is of no great importance to say no to a little request of the Lord's. How often we say no rather than a loving and anticipatory yes. How many blessings we will miss on the way. Heaven will only tell if we say no today.
