What are you willing to give up?

I have been reading a book about the life and testament of Jim Elliot this week. Jim Elliot was one of four missionaries killed by the Auca Indians in attempts to share with them about Jesus. I am humbled by his life's desire to follow the Lord no matter what the cost. And because of his sacrifice those he was trying to reach came to know Jesus as well as countless others who have read his story.

"He is no fool who gives that which he cannot keep, to gain what he cannot lose." - Jim Elliot
