As we wrap up our four 'D' word series we wanted to end with another positive word. What better way to end than with our ultimate calling, being a disciple of Christ.
To be a true disciple of Christ means we follow and imitate His ways and no one else. What we do and say is a reflection of the one that we follow. That is why we have to be so careful about who or what we follow. The world around us draws us into comfort and ease and often times we are tempted to seek out things that make us temporarily happy but Christ has another way.
To be His disciple we must give up everything and follow after Him and to be able to recognize we don't deserve anything from Him because He is the one that has given us everything. That we have hope in what is to come so we need not despair in the present moment even when the darkness is trying to weigh us down. Therefore, no matter what comes our way we can delight in being followers of Christ because even with the cross we know that following Him leads to our victory.
