Matthew 19:29
Fred Lowery
What kind of God would give you families then ask you to leave them?
What kind of God would give you friends then ask you to leave them?
A God who knows that the deepest love is not built on passion, romance, or selfishness - but on a common mission & sacrifice of obeying God
A God who knows that we are only pilgrims, here for a few days and that nay "goodbye" is in a reality a "see you tomorrow".
A beautiful verse: Matt. 19:29
And everyone who has left houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or fields for my sake will receive a hundred times as much and will inherit eternal life.

That was nearly 30 years ago
And I've only been back for brief visits
Separated by hundreds of miles & sometimes thousands - Most of us in full time Christian service do not have the privilege to minister close to our families.
Let's pick up the story in John's gospel (Jn. 19:23-27)
23When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom. 24"Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who wi ...
