Worth It All

To reach the ends of the earth requires sacrificial perseverance. Here’s the thing: we don’t sacrifice unless we think it’s worth it. Dieting and exercise isn’t worth it unless my health or appearance changes. The cost of that hair treatment isn’t worth it unless I like how it looks. Working extra hours isn’t worth it unless I earn more. Only if the result is worth it, will I then sacrifice. So what makes its worth continuing in the faith even though there may be tribulation? What makes it worth giving our all?
