1 Kings 19-20
Elisha slaughtered all his oxen (his livelihood) so he would have nothing to return back to, from this point on it was God and only God he would serve full time. For some people, severe adjustments and sacrifices have to be made to start a relationship with God. This has been proven evident in my life just as it has been made evident in Elisha's. I'm still hurt that I had to leave behind the people who I love most but I understand that God's plan goes beyond my understanding. He's already sent 3 of my old mates to Cheil which has definitely not made me feel as isolated as before. Even still I guess sometimes I still have to remove distractions or minor things that would hinder my faith for a particular day or time. I cannot react like I didn't somewhat expect Christians to have to die to ourselves. What Elisha's life proves is that eventually these sacrifices whether big or small create stronger qualities in our character. A strong character serves God strongly.
