Lilias Trotter could have been the greatest living artist in England, achieving greatness in the eyes of the world. Yet, she gave it up and took another path—the narrow road with Christ—as she pursued His calling on her life.
Her potential for greatness was self-evident. Even in Victorian England, her work was turning heads, but her eyes were fixed on a greater glory. Lilias took another path and worked for a better prize.
What’s truly worthy of your life? What’s worth giving up good things for, so you can devote yourself to that one thing? For some, that question can be paralyzing, but beholding Jesus by faith changes everything.
What difference does Jesus make? It’s more than securing a place in heaven for the one who believes. His presence changes everything, even today. So, what does it look like to seek His presence in your life?
The cost of following Jesus is great, but the reward of knowing Him is greater. That’s His promise and the testimony of those who have gone before us. We need to listen.
