Daily Devotional for Thursday, September 9

Matthew 19:29
29And every one that hath forsaken houses, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my name’s sake, shall receive an hundredfold, and shall inherit everlasting life.

That's pretty strong, forsake family members or a house or land for Jesus' sake. Have you forsaken any of these things for Jesus' sake? It would be extremely difficult to give up any of these things, but Jesus promises a great return on our investment. He says we'll receive an hundredfold. That's like a 10000% increase, but that's not even the good part. We'll also receive everlasting life. Jesus may never ask you to give any of these things up, but if He does, are you willing to forsake brothers, sisters, parents, spouse, children, or possessions for Jesus' sake?
