When Love Meets Love
They make it sound so easy.
But Jesus said, "Count the cost."
First the plow breaks up the land,
then the harrow breaks up the lumps.
Then it is planting time.
The seed waits in damp darkness.
seemingly abandoned,
surrounded by worms and shit.
Finally, it dies.
Then Life begins.

Yes the cost must be counted. BEFORE Jesus comes in we must count the cost. Otherwise the last state will be worse than the first, if that were possible but it is. At first the cost may seem small and the gain eternally huge. Then later the cost seems enormously, almost eternally huge and the gain a pittance. But if we pray and pay attention and open our eyes and ears, we then see it a wee bit closer like He sees it. The cost is real but finite. The gain is real but infinite because after all it is He who is our gain. That says it all.
