Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
MARK 10:21
To be as Christ Jesus lived is the goal. It is also our direct privilege since Jesus came and conquered the world. In walking in absoluteness with Jesus, he will take you on HIS journey. not yours. Yours is dead in acceptance and obedience to the Spirit of Christ that lives within.
His way is real, it will require you to accept and experience absolute dependence on him. In this, your transformation to love - and the power of Christ - replaces worry and doubt for tomorrow. In your acceptance and obedience - Christ Jesus - the Spirit of the most high - lives in you.
The Lord's will is that you follow him first - before any other thing or person forges the path in which you take. Jesus specifically asks the wealthy to give to the poor - and in such - you will receive treasure in heaven. The call of Jesus for you is to completely reconcile your way to his way and then allow his will to be done in you through the Holy Spirit. Jesus will provide the Spirit to give you power - choose him and follow his way.
