The problem is that your striving leaves no room for God to give

Then Peter said to him, “We’ve given up everything to follow you. What will we get?”

Matthew 19:27​

Jesus replied, “I assure you that when the world is made new and the Son of Man sits upon his glorious throne, you who have been my followers will also sit on twelve thrones, judging the twelve tribes of Israel. And everyone who has given up houses or brothers or sisters or father or mother or children or property, for my sake, will receive a hundred times as much in return and will inherit eternal life.

Matthew 19:28-29​

But many who are the greatest now will be least important then, and those who seem least important now will be the greatest then.​

Matthew 19:30​

Peter was asking an ROI question, but Jesus was giving an ROR answer

​

The kingdom where God is king ​

we don't get what we DESERVE

The kingdom where God is king ​

the hope is in the RELATIONSHIP
