It’s so HARD? It takes so much time? I don’t like to read? It’s not always fun? There are
other things I want to do?

We all have the excuses for why we don’t do the hard things when it comes to our
walk with Christ. I bet almost every one of them boils down to one word: ME
Let me list several reasons why we should intentionally exercise the on-going
discipline of doing the hard things:

• Health and future of your marriage
• Your future spouse
• Your children
• Your future children
• Your spiritual, physical, relational, and mental health
• In the long run, it will be worth it (delayed gratification)
• Greatness is never easy
• To pass on Truth to the next generation
• To give Jesus to the next generation
• Set an example for our next generation
• Preserve society and culture
• Build His Kingdom
• It honors God
• It reflects the heart of the Father
• He did hard things for you

Did you notice something? Minus one, they are not about you. Do the hard thing, practice generosity.
