Remaining Ashore

The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore. --Vincent Van Gogh
 
Disciples of Jesus know that following Him is dangerous. They know the storms will be terrible, yet, they continue on for He has the words of eternal life. When we give away everything, deny ourselves, take up our cross, then we have nothing to lose and Heaven to gain. The journey belongs to the Lord, shipwreck or not!
