estimate the cost


How many of us would undertake an addition to our homes without figuring out how much it would cost and if we could do it first?

None of us, yet I still remember a building in lower Michigan from my first call in Northern Ohio that was standing incomplete, because whoever started building it ran out of financial support in the middle of construction so a shell of a building stand where a completed structure should be.

We all can hit hard times though and things can happen so even if we estimate and calculate the costs unseen hindrances may arise.

But if any of us calculated the cost of following Jesus could we do it?

Hate mother, father, sisters, brothers and even life itself?

Could we?

I think if we are honest, none of us can do this on our own, but with the help of God, all things are possible.

So calculate the cost and know you can’t, but take a hold of God’s hand and know you can.
