He humbled himself and was fully
obedient to God, even when that caused
his death—death on a cross.

Philippians 2:8

 

But I don’t want to witness to strangers.  I don’t’ want to give up pleasures of the world.  God, I want you on my terms!

 

Then we turn our gaze skyward and see the cross and see what the son gave up for us.  And in the distance we see God, waiting. 

 

“God would give up his only Son before he’d give up on you.”
