For wherever you go, I will go!

Ruth 1:16(NKJV)

16But Ruth said:      “Entreat me not to leave you,     Or to turn back from following after you;     For wherever you go, I will go; …

This comes from the book of Ruth.  Ruth was very loyal to her mother-in-law Naomi.  After her husband and both of her children died, Naomi decided to go back home to her people.  Ruth, who was married to one of Naomi's sons decided to go with her even though she would be leaving all she knew to follow Naomi.

Here is a question.  As a follower of Christ, do you have that same loyalty and faith?  Are you willing to follow Jesus ANYWHERE He leads you?  Are you willing to leave all that you know for Him? 

The reason I ask is that I believe anything short of that and you are depriving yourself of what could be the most exciting journey of your life. 

It doesn't mean that you'll lose your salvation or anything if you aren't.  It just means that you are telling Jesus that you only want part of the blessings that He has in store for you.  Why would you do that?
