GIVE IT UP TO GET IT ALL

Give it Up to Get it All

Gail Davis

“For which one of you, when he wants to build a tower, does not first sit down and calculate the cost to see if he has enough to complete it?” Luke 14:28

Christ calls us to give up everything - family, friends, possessions and to build upon Him as our sure Foundation. 

We are to make Him the spring from which we get everything we need to live and work as we answer His call, 

"Come follow Me." 

Following Christ means giving up our right to ourselves. 

He gives us new life through the salvation He provides. 

When we have new life through Christ, we have all things we need because He is our fount of life. 

Jesus said I am the Living Water in John 4:10. 

His water never dries up. 

We can trust Him and build our lives upon Him as our foundation. 

He gives us enough to finish every task to which He calls us when we give Him our heart, soul, mind, and strength. 

We have nothing, yet possess all things because Jesus is our River of Living Water. 

Jesus is all we need.

Jesus commanded Simeon and Andrew, 

“Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.” Matthew 4:19 [NASB]

Paul told the Corinthians, 

“Commending ourselves as servants of God…as sorrowful yet always rejoicing, as poor yet making many rich, as having nothing yet possessing all things.” 2 Corinthians 6:4 & 10 [NASB]

Will you give up your life to get everything you will ever need?

Will you accept Jesus’ gift of salvation and let Him be your All-in-All?

Lord, I give my life to You, then when I run into a problem, I want to take it back. 

Lord, I often forget You are my foundation and my Living Water. 

Forgive my small faith and wanting to take control. 

Make me faithful. 

Remind me, You are the Source of everything I need for life and ministry. 

You are my All-in-All. 

Thank You for Your love, patience and forgiveness.
