Thought for Today: Monday November 17

During the early years of the twentieth century, Bill Borden turned his back on one of America’s great family fortunes to become a missionary to China. He only got as far as Egypt where, still in his twenties, he died of typhoid fever. Before his death he wrote: “No reserves, no retreats, no regrets!” Discipleship is always costly… it will cost us our plans; our wills; our selfish desires. Yeshua’s standard has not changed: “If anyone desire to come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross, and follow Me” {Matthew 16: 24}. Follow the Moshiach, and at life’s end you will also be able to say: “No regrets!”
