At times being a Christian will mean for us a sacrifice, will involve a cost , it could involves once held friendships it could mean letting go of something in order for us to fulfil Gods purposes in our lives as Martin Luther once said, “The cross we bear always goes before the crown we wear.”
One man once said these words “I will tell you the secret: God has had all that there was of me. There have been men with greater brains than I, even with greater opportunities, but from the day I got the poor of London on my heart and caught a vision of what Jesus Christ could do with me and them, on that day I made up my mind that God should have all of William Booth there was. And if there is anything of power in the Salvation Army, it is because God has had all the adoration of my heart, all the power of my will, and all the influence of my life. - that man was William Booth.
