Mark 10:20-22
(Read From vs 17, The Rich and The Kingdom Of God to understand the whole passage)
“Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” At this, the man’s face fell. He went away sad because he had great wealth.
Jesus told the rich man to do something that he had never done before which made him sad because he didn't expect to be uncomfortable little did he know that in that discomfort, there was his great miracle. Who knows maybe we would have been reading about how much richer he became or how greater he became but his story ended with him walking away sad.
When you read Matthew in Chapter 5 vs 41 he tells you that If anyone forces you to go one mile, go with them two miles. That's to tell you that where you are expected to do little you do more that's what will make you extraordinary. #BeOutStanding
If you want to be and do extraordinary things be ready to be uncomfortable, stretch yourself more to expect great results. Wake up and pray at the time you are enjoying your sleep, exercise when you don't feel like it, study, control your tongue and Mind, have self-control even where there are temptations, put effort into your work always do your best in what you do. #DoThingsDifferent
