Matthew 16:24-27 One of the toughest decisions I’ve made in my life was when I decided to propose to who was then my future wife. It wasn’t a hard decision because of things like whether or not I loved her or whether or not she would make an awesome wife. It was a difficult decision because of how big of a step it was. I was asking her to take our relationship to a different level. We had dated for two years, but marriage is a lot different than dating. Marriage is all in and no turning back. I had no doubt I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, but I had to get to the point where I was ready to fully commit. God gives us marriage numerous times in the Bible as an example of what His relationship with us is, and, just like a marriage, there comes a point in our relationship with God that we have to make the decision on whether or not we are going to go all in. He doesn’t ask us to make the decision right out of the gate. He wants us to sit and listen and learn about Him, take small steps to following Him, and then be more intentional about serving Him with how we live. At that point, God asks us to go all in, to give everything in our life to Him. The question is whether or not you are at the point to fully commit to Him. God loves you more than you could ever imagine, and He has an amazing plan for your life. You will never reach your full potential unless you’re willing to go all in with your relationship with Christ. // TWO-A-DAYS // GO A LITTLE FARTHER WITH YOUR DAILY DEVOTIONS // Go through these questions with your spouse, kids, or friend, or you can even journal about the answers to these questions:
