"Christian, what did you have to give up to be here?”

Great question. If the answer is "nothing" you have some soul-searching to do.

"Christian, what did you have to give up to be here?”

I am reminded of a story I was told by someone who was involved with Alcoholics Anonymous for many years.

A new, younger woman was telling the group very passionately about how she "deserved" to be free of her addiction, God must make it so, we all "deserved" it, etc...

A longer-term member, who had once been a drug-user, gang-banger, did time in prison, etc... replied: "I pray God does not give me what I deserve!"
