Susan LaffertyWhy would someone risk their life to follow Jesus? Why give up all for Christ?
Eternal life with Him. Of course.
But so much more.
Across the years, we move. Entering new places. Living and learning in various cultures where following Jesus may cost everything.
And I consider a few of the many reasons for choosing Him. Why I can’t imagine life without my Lord.
Now and forever.
Faithfulness. My parents just celebrated a milestone. Their 66th wedding anniversary.
Sixty-six years traveling together across oceans. Living in tropical urban centers and American towns.
A journey marked by great joys. Victories.
And deeply painful losses. Hurts. Dark nights.
The thread running through it all? Faithfulness.
Preconceived outcome looms. Hinders. Weakens the witness. “Do you believe this is true?” A simple question. One I can ask after sharing the gospel. But everything in my mind braces for resistance, remembering frequent rejections. Anxious thoughts pile up. Expecting the “no.”
