Someone’s got to pay in pain… will it be you… or them?

 

Life is really just a great trade off. You want a great life, a great faith, a great anointing? It is simply a trade… how much are you willing to give of yourself in order to get more of God. 

 

I am not talking about earning anything… thats not even in the picture. We can’t possible earn anything in the realm of God… but earning aside- what does it mean to trade. Well I have to be willing to pay my time to have intimacy with Jesus. I have to be willing to embrace the pain of a slandered name, ridiculed, shamed, made fun of… My goals, needs, desires… all pay a price. Am I willing to pay the price “whatever it takes” to become intimate with God.

My homiletics teacher in Bible college said “with any sermon… someone has to pay in pain”. He went on to expound… if you pay the pain of time, preparation, reading, rehearsing and prayer… then your people won’t pay in pain. However if you don’t pay that price of pain, then when you get up to preach, you can be sure your people will pay that price of pain listening to you”. 

 

Thats all that life is… a trade off. 

have you ever had a friend who could trade something and always get more out of it? 

 

On Youtube there is a Tedtalk about a guy who trades a red paperclip for a fish pen, then trades the fish pen for a doorknob and he continues to go up and up and up until he is able to trade for a house. It is a great story… but what you understand in the whole scope of it is this one single key ingredient: Don’t ever trade down.

Now it’s a little easier when looking at a red paper clip. You can trade for just about anything and it is a step up. But what if the trade is a little more gray or nuanced. Like what if its extra time at your job rather than being home for your kids after school. It might seem like an innocuous trade at first… but over time you may realize you traded down. or what about trading 30 minutes of sleep every morning for 30 more minutes of time with God in his word. Again, a seemingly unimportant trade until you see your family, health and business running on empty.

What are you willing to trade your life for?

You might say nothing… oh my friend you are so naive… because everyday you are trading your life for something. Always trade up!
