When we read and understand the scriptures below, we cannot ignore what Jesus say about becoming His disciple. The cold hard truth is that we must give up everything! Now, let us be honest and truthful with ourselves if with no one else. How often do we “want” for ourselves, not thinking about the LORD? How often do we seek our personal desires? How often do we try to obtain personal resources to use for our own good and perceived needs?
If we are doing these things we are trying to obtain, then how are we giving up everything as Jesus said in the scriptures? This is something that we should really think hard about, and pray to the Father in heaven to lead us guide us and help us in.

A large crowd was following Jesus. He turned around and said to them, “If you want to be my disciple, you must hate everyone else by comparison—your father and mother, wife and children, brothers and sisters—yes, even your own life. Otherwise, you cannot be my disciple. And if you do not carry your own cross and follow me, you cannot be my disciple. “But don’t begin until you count the cost. For who would begin construction of a building without first calculating the cost to see if there is enough money to finish it? Otherwise, you might complete only the foundation before running out of money, and then everyone would laugh at you. They would say, ‘There’s the person who started that building and couldn’t afford to finish it!’ “Or what king would go to war against another king without first sitting down with his counselors to discuss whether his army of 10,000 could defeat the 20,000 soldiers marching against him? And if he can’t, he will send a delegation to discuss terms of peace while the enemy is still far away. So you cannot become my disciple without giving up everything you own. “Salt is good for seasoning. But if it loses its flavor, how do you make it salty again? Flavorless salt is good neither for the soil nor for the manure pile. It is thrown away. Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand!”
