Galatians 6:1 Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted. 6:2 Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ. 6:3 For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself. 6:4 But let every man prove his own work, and then shall he have rejoicing in himself alone, and not in another. 6:5 For every man shall bear his own burden. 6:6 Let him that is taught in the word communicate unto him that teacheth in all good things. 6:7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap. 6:8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth to the Spirit shall of the Spirit reap life everlasting. 6:9 And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not. 6:14 But God forbid that I should glory, save in the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom the world is crucified unto me, and I unto the world.

1 Corinthians 15:19 If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. 15:20 But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 15:21 For since by man came death, by man came also the resurrection of the dead. 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. 15:23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming. 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. 15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. 15:26 The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. 15:27 For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him.

YOU WILL NEVER KNOW THE FULL JOY OF SERVING GOD UNTIL YOU HAVE FORSAKEN ALL TO FOLLOW JESUS CHRIST!
What do you give the man who has everything? Well, the Lord gave it to the rich young man who came to Him! "But one thing thou lackest," the Lord said, "go and sell all that thou hast and give to the poor and thou shalt have treasure in Heaven, and come and follow Me!" He asked him to do the one thing he didn't want to do, the hardest thing of all, to give up the things that he loved and accept a way of life that he didn't really want. Those things hadn't satisfied him in the first place or he wouldn't have come running to Jesus for the answers, but the one thing God asked him to do, he wasn't willing to do it. So he went away sorrowful! (Mat.19:21,22). Rich as he was, he was still unable to pay the price of the joy of giving all!
What is the "all" worth compared to the Lord and His Kingdom and His children and souls?--Forsaking all of this world in order to go out and redeem everlasting souls for the next World that will live forever in joy and blessing and eternal bliss through the Salvation that you can give them through your witness, your faith, your sacrifice, your love and your willingness to forsake all else to do it!

Deuteronomy 30:20 That thou mayest love the LORD thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the LORD sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them. Psalms 34:12 What man is he that desireth life, and loveth many days, that he may see good? Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity: for that is thy portion in this life, and in thy labour which thou takest under the sun. Isaiah 43:4 Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honourable, and I have loved thee: therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 10:17 Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again. John 12:25 He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. John 15:13 Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Galatians 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me. James 1:12 Blessed is the man that endureth temptation: for when he is tried, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord hath promised to them that love him. 1 Peter 3:10 For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: 1 John 3:14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death. 1 John 3:16 Hereby perceive we the love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the brethren. Jude 1:21 Keep yourselves in the love of God, looking for the mercy of our Lord Jesus Christ unto eternal life.

Faith comes more quickly when you hear yourself quoting, speaking, and saying the things God said. You will more readily receive God's Word
into your spirit by hearing yourself say it than if you hear someone else say it.
into your spirit by hearing yourself say it than if you hear someone else say it.
You'll never have the spiritual strength and stamina nor the spirit that will even sustain your bodily stamina to keep going to get out the Word unless you yourself are drinking in the Word and being spiritually nourished and strengthened by it yourself first.
