Burden or privilege

A short blog:

“He is no fool who gives up what he cannot keep in order to gain what he cannot lose”
-Martyred missionary Jim Elliot

He captured in those words what it means to risk spiritually. Elliot’s talk of sacrifice was matched by a life of sacrifice. Sacrificing for God is not a burden but a privilege. Kenny Luck in his book, “Risk” asks the question:

“Am I willing to sacrifice my agenda in order to be used for God’s agenda?”
