WHAT IF?

WHAT IF WHAT I AM CALLED TO REQUIRES EFFORT?

WHAT IF ACTUALLY STUDYING MY BIBLE TAKES TIME?

WHAT IF SERVING GOD MAKES ME UNCOMFORTABLE?

WHAT IF I DON’T ALWAYS GET TO HAVE THE NEW HOUSE, NEW CAR, NEW CLOTHES EVERY MONTH?

WHAT IF I DO?

WHAT IF FOLLOWING GOD IS EXHAUSTING?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO PUT OUT SOME ENERGY, EVEN THOUGH I’M TIRED AND WORN OUT?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO LOVE OTHERS…….EVEN THOSE WHO ARE UNLOVABLE?

WHAT IF I DON 'T GET TO ACQUIRE A SAVINGS ACCOUNT?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO DEPEND WHOLLY ON HIM TO PAY MY BILLS....NOT KNOWING HOW HE'LL DO IT?

WHAT IF I DO HAVE A LOT OF MONEY...AND I AM SUPPOSED TO GIVE IT ALL TO THE NEEDY? WILL I?...EVEN THOUGH IT'S MINE, THAT I WORKED FOR...ALL MINE?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO FORGIVE….ALL THE TIME, EVERY PERSON….EVEN WHEN WHAT THEY DID WAS HORRIBLE….AND EVEN WHEN THEY DON’T APOLOGIZE?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO ACTUALLY EXERCISE SELF-CONTROL?

WHAT IF I ACTUALLY HAVE TO HOLD OTHERS AROUND ME ACCOUNTABLE?

WHAT IF WHAT I DO DOESN’T ALWAYS MAKE ME FEEL GOOD?

WHAT IF I DON’T GET TO MAKE MY OWN DECISIONS?

WHAT IF I DON’T BELONG TO MYSELF?

WHAT IF I HAVE TO SACRIFICE MYSELF…MY TIME….MY LIKES…MY WANTS….MY DESIRES…..FOR OTHERS?

WHAT IF THOSE WHOM I’M SACRIFICING FOR DON’T EVEN KNOW IT, AND CERTAINLY DON’T APPRECIATE IT?

WHAT IF HE TAKES SOMEONE I LOVE?

WILL I ALWAYS FOLLOW, EVEN IN THE MIDST OF TRAGEDY?
