Giving Up

Craig Groeschel on his blog had this post today and it fits really well with our current series, Practical Atheist. What’s your thoughts?

Someone said, “In order to ‘go up,’ there are many things you’ll have to ‘give up.’”

As God expands your influence you’ll be honored to give up some things you used to enjoy.

* You might give up your privacy.
* You might give up much of your spare time.
* You will have to give up control.
* You will have to surrender your reputation.

Whenever I am tempted to complain about something I’ve given up, I remember what Jesus gave up for me. I also acknowledge that many around the world are giving their lives for their faith in Christ.

It is an honor to give up to go up.

What are you giving up to go up this week?
