What has your faith cost you? Do you think it's cost you more to get where you are now, or do you think more will be required of you as time goes on?

So far it has cost sex drugs and rock and roll, not to mention easy money. If I thought that price was high. . . Lol now it is starting to cost me :

my right to dislike some people

my right to self pity and feeling sorry for myself

my right to enjoy dischord and stir up strife

my right to be impatient

my right to be mean to those who are mean to me

my right to be bad when I feel like it

my right to not believe anything I want

my right to be rough, blunt and tactless

my right to be uncontrolled by myself and the Holy Spirit

As Twosparrows says: sex, drugs, and rock and roll. And lots more money.

It has cost me friendships

It has cost me time - to spend with Jesus while I've been single

It has cost me health - because I chose not to do drugs or alcohol

It has cost me wealth - because I've tithed the % God told me to which was more than 10%

It has all been worth it. Only God knows if He will require more of me. But I stand on the rock and my faith cannot be moved, and He has proved Himself an ample and faithful provider so I am not afraid.

Some "friends" and I have parted years, some after many years because I tend to be righteous, or atleast try to be while they check their morals with their luggage.

Of course it also cost me my old life of debauchery, greedful lust and as a total glutton. Looking back I like this new life a lot better. We can all thank the man upstairs for that.

I dunno. My faith hasn't cost me rock-and-roll. Maybe I'm from a different planet or something. I forget who said it, but somebody said, "Sometimes, I think that the harder I rock, the more people see Jesus."
